In WordPress, “Pages” are used to create static content, or content that doesn’t change very often like “contact us”, “about us” and “privacy notices”.

Adding a Contact Page

Creating a contact page uses the same process for creating any page, except you need to create a form for your readers to use to contact you. Fortunately, with WordPress this is as easy as installing a plugin.

Install a Contact Plugin

First, we need to find and install the “Fast Secure Contact Form” plugin. You can choose other contact form plugins, but this one is pretty straight forward and easy to configure.

1. In the WP-Admin area, go to PLUGINS > ADD NEW
2. In the search field, type “Fast Secure Contact Form”
3. Find it in the results list, and click INSTALL
4. ACTIVATE the plugin
5. In the WP-Admin area, now go to PLUGINS > FS Contact Form Options. This is the control for this specific plugin. (See FIG N)
6. Copy the contact form code which can be found under USAGE (See FIG N)
7. Now we need to insert this code into your new Contact Page

FIG N: Copy form code

Create a Contact Page

1. In the WP-Admin area, go to PAGES > ADD NEW
2. Enter “Contact” in the page title
3. Switch the text box to HTML (instead of Visual)
4. Enter the form code and any supporting text you want to show before the form (See FIG O)
5. Click PUBLISH to save the page

FIG O: Contact page

Once you have created these pages you are now ready to add it to your main menu. See Setup Main Menu.
