How do I create a contact form?

Add a contact form to your Jimdo Creator website to give visitors the chance to contact you.

Adding a form

1. Log in to your Jimdo account and choose the desired website
2. Click Edit to enter your Jimdo Creator website’s edit mode
3. Go to the page that you’d like to add the contact form to
4. Click on Add Element > More Elements and Add-ons and choose the Form Element

Personalizing your form

The standard form has the fields Name, Email and Message. You can add in other fields by clicking on the button Add Element in the form.

The fields all have different functions and can make sure that what’s entered is in the right format. For example: Your visitors will get an error message if they enter an email address without an @.

Text regarding Privacy Policy

The sentence 'The Privacy Policy applies' can be changed using the menu. Open the menu, go to Settings > Privacy and Security and put your text in the field underneath Privacy Policy for forms.

Changing the settings

You’ll find the form settings at the bottom of the element. Here, you can choose the email address that the messages will be sent to, as well as activate the CAPTCHA (spam filter) and confirmation message.
