Creating contact and other types of forms is really easy in WordPress

Here are some of my favorite ways to accomplish this 👇
Contact Form 7 is a popular free WordPress builder.

Here is how to create a form using this plugin:

I use Elementor Pro, which allows users to create simple forms (it works great for contact forms).

I use this method for simple forms:

elementor.com/help/forms/
For more complex forms and integrations, one of my favorite tools is formidable.

It comes in a free and paid version (which is much more powerful).

More info:

If you are an advanced user, you can also create your own forms using JS, HTML, and PHP.

Here is a tutorial on how to do that (old but good):

I have built my agency by launching and maintaining WordPress websites

Here is a thread with 🔟 most common WordPress questions answered

👇
Is WordPress free?

WordPress is an open-source project. It's free to download, modify, and use. You will need a hosting account to launch your own WordPress site.

WordPress .com is different. It's a paid subscription-based product for blogging and building websites (like Wix)
Do I need to know PHP to work with WordPress?

Not unless you are planning to create your own themes and plugins. PHP is also useful for troubleshooting WordPress.

You won't need it in order to create and launch websites however.

Most users dislike pop-ups on websites, but they are very effective for driving action.

They are popular for gaining newsletter signups and doing sales promotions.

Here are my top tips for making less obtrusive and effective popups

👇
1⃣ Don't use more than 1 pop-up on a single page
2⃣ Don't immediately show the popup. This will slow down the website load times, and result in a poor user experience.

Wait until the user has scrolled through the page or has an exit intent (sale promos are great for the exit intent popup strategy).

I played around with different hosting options for my WordPress website to measure performance

I compared ionos, siteground, and pantheon (a few of my recommended providers)

Here is what I found 👇
All of the options included a caching plugin, perfmatters, and a CDN (except for siteground, I will explain why)

On ionos and siteground I used W3 cache and on pantheon I used autoptimize because W3 doesn't work on pantheon
First up ionos -> my current provider

W3 cache, perfmatters and cloudflare installed

Loads pretty quickly (1.3s) but TTFB is slow Image
