Hi, Hope somebody can help me please.
I have a website and need to create a "Contact us" form for customers to contact me if they have a query etc.
I don't know any html, so I just need something easy to copy and paste please.
I don't have any money to pay a professional, so I am hoping you kind people out there can help me please.

Thank you

    Read that.

    Although you would need some sort of sending (PHP).

    I have managed to go to the website and copy and paste the code, but because my hosting company and template don't have anywhere to switch off html, it shows it as code to the customer if you see what I mean.
    I don't know how to make it so the customer can view it as a proper form

    I have the perfect script go to : http://gordonmac.com/downloads/?type=scripts

    Download then extract the 3 files

    open the index.php file using notepad or ur preferred program edit the following to your details

    // Your email address
    $youremail = 'gordon@w-orx.com';
    // Your web site title (John Doe's Site)
    $websitetitle = 'Yoursite dot com';
    // Path to "thanks for the message" page
    $thankyoupage = 'thankyou.php';
    // Send notification to sender (use false if not required)
    $sendnotification = true;


    Most webhosting companies should have mail servers included so this shouldn't be an issue if you have professional hosting.
