It won’t be a joke to say that customer service is the key to a successful business nowadays. Deploying the contact form is one of those “bricks” to build a profitable customer service strategy. Contact form helps to establish the connection between a company and a customer. Website owners might use this element for various purposes: to gather feedback from users, as a way of communication with job applicants, for technical and customer support, and even as a subscription tab. Users like to know that a company takes care of them and listens to the feedback. Job applicants can be sure that their CV will be sent directly to the HR (Human Resource) department.
Overall, such behavior increases the company’s vote of confidence and brand reputation. In this article, we’ll cover three plugins to create a unique contact form for your WordPress website.
Gravity Forms
It’s a user-friendly form builder. You are free to choose from more than 30 pre-maid fields and control them via the conditional logic. Show or hide fields and pages, submit button based on user selections to make your own incredible functionality. Enable the email notification option so you’ll always know when somebody submits your contact forms. Users are free to upload documents or images they’ll ever want and save files right to your server.
The other great advantage of this form is the ability to save the form status. This means, that user can always return to a partially filled form later on and finish it.
It’s a premium plugin but you’re always able to check out a free demo before considering the purchase. Of course, the plugin provides a bunch of basic, pro and elite add-ons based on the license type you are currently using. They may be handy to extend the functionality of the tool even more.
