3 Reasons Why A Scripted Contact Form Is Worth It’s Weight In Gold.

A scripted contact us form can be worth it’s weight in gold if implemented correctly.  I would like to present to your 3 reasons why you should switch from that standard html mailto: function and get over to the current best method of contact a php or asp form.

1.  Everybody can contact you.

That’s right, everyone.  Not just those people who have Microsoft Outlook, or Thunderbird installed on their computers.  The html mailto: function is as about as useful as a eye full of sand to users that don’t use such email applications.  With a php or asp built contact us page you can easily let your server do the work, and every user that comes to your site has an easy and safe way of contacting you.

2.  Information Gathering.

With php and asp being such wonderfully powerful tools that allow you to easily store information in a database, the contact us form becomes more that just a way for you to have potential customers and clients contact you.  The form becomes the easiest way to build yourself a mailing list.  Every time somebody decides to send you an email from your page you now have the opportunity to store their name, email, web-site, and possibly a want of theirs.  This will allow you to easily track their interestests, questions, and provide you with enough information to create an informational and targeted listing of possible clients.

3.  They are  Good Looking.

Professionalism.  You will attract more flys with honey and making a styled form can be pretty simple with css and you will present to your viewer that you care about what they have to say.  With the use of a scripted contact us form you can present a simple solution in a professional way.  Plus they can allow you to send a confirmation to your client which always looks good.

Those are my top 3 reasons to created a scripted contact us form.  Let me know what you think.  And if you like it please give it a digg.
