best way to handle forms in WordPress? (4 posts)

    I'd like to set up a form for a contact page. Is there a built-in capability that allows for easy form management within wordpress? Or should I do it the old fashioned way and create a form manually?

    Or maybe, are there any good plugins that handle this?

    Thanks for any suggestions..

    How advanced? cforms is amazing, but complete overkill for a simple contact form

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/
    is far more lightweight and simple. I use it for basic forms

    And then there is gravity forms.... which is by far the best, but it costs $$$

    worth it if you need to develop multiple or complex forms

    thanks, It's going to be extremely simple...

    Fields will be:

    • name (required)
    • email (required)
    • phone (optional)
    • comments(required)

    I know this would be simple to program manually, but I'd really like it if users can change/add/remove fields within wordpress..

    I'll look at the options you guys recommended, thank you so much!!
