Insert a form

A form is very useful for creating fields where someone browsing your website can enter information into. Then, when the user clicks the Submit button, the information that has been entered by the user will get emailed to you.

The most common use of this is a Contact form where a user can ask a question or leave some comments or suggestions for you.

In this example, we will create a Contact form and a Thank You page. A Thank You page is needed for when your user clicks the submit button on your form, they can get redirected to a page that thanks them for their comments or questions.

Ewisoft Website Builder has built-in spam protection as well as other great customizable features.

Right click on the page you wish the contact page to be located after and select New Page.

Enter Contact for the Page Name and select After.

Click OK.

Type in a title on your page on the edit side of the screen and place your cursor below it.

This is where we will create a form.

Before we create the form, we should create a Thank You page.

Right click on the Contact page and select New Page.

Click Yes to save your Contact page.

Enter Thank You for the Page Name, select As Child and click OK.

Type in Thank You title on your page and enter some text thanking your user for visiting or for leaving comments. Whatever text you think is appropriate for the information you have collected from them.

We also don't want the Thank You page to appear in any of your navigation links because you will want it hidden and only shown when a user completes your form.

Right click on the Thank You page and select Properties.

Click the Advanced button.

Select Not using menus and click OK.

Note: the option "Not using menus" is for pages that you don't wish to show up in your navigation links.

Let’s go back to the Contact page and add a form. Click on the Contact page.

Place your cursor where you want the form to go and click the Form button on the toolbar.

Select a pre-built form from the list or you can even start from a blank form and click OK.

Give the form a name like "contact". You can modify or add new fields to the list as you like.
