I figured there are other people out there that might be having some of the same issues so that’s why I put together this list of the 10 best contact form plugins that I could find.

    Thank you I wasnoticing the same thing. Lots of outdated or overblown solutions to what should be a simple thing. I don’t understand why this is not part of WP itself – doesn’t every site need a contact form.

    I personally prefer Contact Form 7 since it’s so easy to install and get started with it. Just by simple activating the plugin you will have a fully functional contact form, without any hassle.

    I suggest to use free PHP IDE Codelobster PHP Edition with special WordPress plug-in.

    It would be much more helpful to see an image of each actual form, rather than the site’s marketing page for that form.

    Don’t you think?

    This post by Greg is intended to help visitors find a few good contact plugins rather than an in depth look at what each contact form offers. Good idea though for future posts like this, thanks!

    Been trying out all the above plugins and will write up a more detailed analysis shortly.

    A first result I’m happy to share (top2):

    “Gravity Forms” as suggested above looks like the ‘latest’ one – best UI feel.

    “cforms” best one of the above in terms of flexibility and options, it beats all of the above hands down.

    Hi,

    Great list, thanks for putting it together.

    Don’t suppose you know of any drop down contact form plug ins? I’m looking for something a little more discrete.

    Thanks,
