Adding Contact Forms

Contact forms allow visitors to send you messages without needing to open their email app. They are essential for most websites—whether you're running a business, blog, or personal portfolio.

Why Contact Forms Are Important

Using a contact form protects your email address from spam, gives users a professional way to reach you, and lets you control what kind of information you collect—like name, subject, and message.

Using the Preinstalled Form (SureForms)

If you're using a Starter Template with the Astra theme, a contact form may already be included by default. These forms are built with a plugin called SureCart Forms (also known as SureForms), which came bundled with your design.

To customize this form:

Go to SureCart → Forms in the WordPress dashboard;
Click on the form that was automatically created (e.g., "Contact Form");
From there, you can edit the form fields, change labels, and adjust the layout.

Creating a New Form

If you'd rather create a new form from scratch (or if your template didn't come with one), follow these steps:

Go to SureForms → Forms and click Add New;
Choose a layout or start from scratch;
Drag and drop fields like:
- Name;
- Email;
- Message.
Customize field labels, placeholders, and required settings;
Click Publish to save the form.

Adding the Form to a Page

Once your form is ready:

Go to Pages → All Pages, then open the page where you want to insert the form;
Click the + button to add a block;
Search for SureForms and select it;
Choose your form from the dropdown list;
Update or publish the page.

Now your visitors can send messages directly through your site.
