With WebSelf Simple, you can easily create a contact form.
First, we'll see how to create a contact form and then explore the various customization options.
How to create a contact form?
When you finish creating your website, there will likely be a "Contact" section at the bottom of one of your pages. However, you can easily add one if that's different.
- Click on the "+" between two sections to open the section templates.
- Then, choose the suitable template in the "Contact" tab.
The new section will appear; you can see information such as your contact details, business hours, and a form. Similar to other sections, you can add or remove elements (like a map or media) depending on the template you choose.
Just so you know, if you don't want a form in your contact section, you can remove it.
How to customize your contact form?
On the left, you'll see the list of elements for the Contact section and then click on "Edit" next to the Form element. You will arrive at the page as shown below.
- With a free trial, you are entitled to 5 fields in your form from a selection: Name, Email, Short Text, Long Text, and URL.
- If you have a Premium plan, you will have access to all the contact fields shown in the image below.
- To add a field, click on the "+Add field" symbol at the bottom of the field list.
Please note that each field has its own features.
In the FIELD tab, these are your options:
Once a field is added, you will have access to the same settings for all fields.
By clicking on the "..." you will be able to Rename, Duplicate, or Delete your field. You can also make the field Optional or Required, a small red asterisk will be shown next to the field.
In the SETTINGS tab, these are your options:
You can access and customise your form's sending and receiving settings: Form name, Receipt email, Button text and Success message.
Note:
- The WebSelf editor does not offer the feature to send a confirmation message to the person who completed the form.
- The "Success message" is displayed automatically, at the bottom of the form, as soon as the person who completed the form clicks the "Submit" button.
How do I view messages received via my contact form?
- Upon the reception of a message via your contact form, an alert is automatically sent along with the message to the email address indicated in the Email field of the Settings of your contact form.

IMPORTANT:
The email address associated with alerts coming from the contact form is: no-reply@webself.net.
If you are not receiving alerts, please set the above email address in the list of authorized addresses in your email address Settings.

- Messages received via your contact form are also stocked in the Vertical management bar.
View the answers to your various forms.
By clicking on the message, the Details are displayed immediately in the right.
