Many websites require the use of email forms. An email form is a form that a site visitor fills out in order to opt-in and receive a newsletter or site updates. It also is any form where an email address is entered so that a customer can send a business a message, or in the case of a non-profit organization, where someone can sign a petition online. Email forms are wonderful ways to obtain email addresses, and whenever you get an email address through a form, you are allowed to send email without getting into trouble with the law; in other words, you aren’t spamming.

Running a website takes time and effort. If you have to worry about the website coding as well, you are in for a lot of frustration. Many people do not know how to write the code needed to set up their own website, let alone email forms. Technical books can be helpful, but many of them do not explain everything that you need to know and if you mess up one tiny bit – for instance, if you use an underscore instead of a dash – your form is not going to work. It can take a long time to find the mistakes you made, and usually that’s time that you don’t have. Plus, the books are expensive. You could attend a couple of classes to learn the coding to make an email form, but this requires a lot of time and money. You should also remember that there are more than a few people who are experts in making websites who find email forms difficult to make.

There are programs that you could buy that will help you make email forms, but many of them are difficult to use and just not worth the high price. Downloading free programs can be just as dangerous because they often are loaded with viruses, causing you to need costly computer repair. Even if they are not full of viruses, they are most likely shareware and you’ll end up paying money for a program that won’t really deliver. Hiring someone to come and set up your email forms can cost you several hundred dollars, and you could possibly end up waiting around for them to get to your site.
