1. Create Your Form HTML
The first step in integrating an email form into your website is to build the actual HTML code for the form. The easiest and quickest way to create the form code is to use myContactForm.com.
myContactForm.com features a free online wizard that steps you through the entire form building process. myContactForm.com has just about any feature you could ask for including auto-responders, CAPTCHA, file attachements, CSS styling, data exports (Excel, CSV, Text, HTML, etc.), pre-made templates, and much more.
