I hate building contact forms. They are such a pain. To get around my frustration of building my own forms, I usually use Wufoo. Wufoo is a great way to build many different types of forms without writing a single line of code. The only problem I have with Wufoo, is that it’s a bit hard to customize the look and feel of the form. They do give you some styling options, but sometimes I want a bit more control. I ran across this article by Landon Miller on creating a simple HTML5 contact form, complete with client-side validation, and jQuery fallbacks. The one great thing about building your own forms is that you have complete control over everything. It’s a great little piece of code and I’m now using it on my contact page.
