Industry sign banking new york emergency contact form secure

[Music] one of the most important pages of a website is the contact page where people can get in touch with you especially if you have products and services that you sell with your website it's important that people can get in touch with you to find out more information so here on video school online I have a very simple contact page that works really well first I created this image with a bright smiling picture of me and a how can I help button trying to just personalize my website a little bit more and then down below I have the contact form and this is created with fast secure contact forms they plugin that i'm going to show you in just a second there are hundreds of options for contact form plugins but there are two that I'm going to show you one is the fast secure contact form which is the one that I'm using for video school online.com it's relatively simple to use visually it's not the best graphically it's not the most seamless integration with a website and the backend isn't as easy as another plug-in called contact form buy WP forms so for our website that we're working on I'm going to show you how to use this one so go ahead and install this one just search for WPF ORMs and it should be the first one that shows up after you've installed and activated go to the WP forms menu and click on add new or if you're on the all forms page you can click add new from there here we can give a name to the form so for me I'm just going to call this contact page you can follow a template or you can create your own let's just create a blank form for now now we can easily drag and drop the different options from the left onto our contact page for example we might want to include a name box an email box and a paragraph text box if you want to find any more data about people submitting information on your contact page you can add a multiple choice question I drop down menu or some checkboxes with a list of things that you might want to find out about that person there's also what they call fancy fields or payment fields that you can add but you have to purchase the full premium version of WP forms but this is typically what you would want in your contact page just name email and paragraph you could also add a single line text say you want to find someone's website out you can drag it on to this editor click any of these modules to edit it and then it comes up with the edit options on the left and then we can change the label name from website for that I wouldn't make it a requirement but here is the checkbox to make it a requirement or not so you don't want to include their last name or require them including their last name you can click on the name field and change the format from first/last to just simple name but I like requiring or at least having the option for the first and last under settings you can change the way that your message appears to the person when they get an email for example under notifications you can change what the from name is if you want it to be the website name or maybe you just want it to be or maybe you just want it to be your name and under confirmation this is the message that they'll receive after submitting something in the contact form so you might want to include right now this is the default thanks for contacting us we will be in touch with you shortly maybe you want to say with you in the next two to three business days and then maybe you want to say something like in the meantime feel free to check out my list of blog articles or my youtube channel that answers some frequently asked questions or maybe you have a FAQ page that you want to direct people to you couldn't also change it from a message to going to URL if you want to redirect them to a specific page once you're happy with your form and your settings click Save and then click embed what we can do is now take this shortcode which is what this is called copy it and embed it into our contact page it does have a tutorial if you want to watch that but I'm just gonna go to my contact page so here I'm on my on deck page and I'm going to click edit page now I'm just going to add the shortcode right there in the middle of this visual box say update and then click view page and now you can see our contact form good to go now if this were my contact page which it is I would include a little bit more information like I did on the video school online page maybe just some sort of verification or some sort of explanation of what you're looking for or what types of things you expect to hear from people in the contact form or perhaps again you want to redirect people to other pages or information so that you don't get bombarded with too many submissions on your contact form so this contact form looks really amazing really clean one thing that I would add to prevent spam is a reCAPTCHA which is a Google tool that is added to all kinds of forms so that it can prevent BOTS from spamming your website here you can see on my page with fast secure contact form the CAPTCHA code where people have to type this in and as annoying as it is for someone to have to type that in it's a wonderful tool for preventing spam to add that to your WP forums go under WP forms menu under settings and down at the bottom you have reCAPTCHA click the visit reCAPTCHA link to go to the google page and click get reCAPTCHA it's going to ask you to register a new website and once you walk through this step that's going to give you the CAPTCHA site key and the secret key that you can plug in and save next go back to your contact page form and you might have to refresh the page then under settings go to general and turn on enable reCAPTCHA and press save now if anyone visits your contact page form they'll get this I'm not a robot reCAPTCHA which is the new way that Google is figuring out if someone is a spammer or a bot or not so people will actually have to check this and be verified to provide a comment for this example you get one of these image pop-ups where I asks you which images have a street sign and so the user has to select all of them click verify to be able to submit a comment on this form so that's WP forms and again it's very simple to use and if you want some more advanced tools you can sign up for a premium account but with what you get with the lite version you can go ahead and get started thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next lesson [Music]
