## Description

Simple, yet pretty and perfect for most of us. You will love this contact form! 
Through its Gutenberg block (or shortcode), you can add it anywhere and make it 
yours in a few clicks. Lightweight, clean UI, no need to set up anything special
or download more plugins. It doesn’t use any JS or CSS files (except if you active
ReCAPTCHA). You can find more information on this plugin on [Meow Apps: Contact Form Block](https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block/).

**Why another Contact Form?** I have tried many plugins in the past, and I found
them all too heavy and complicated. Most of the time, I just wanted a simple **contact**
form. Why would I need to create a new form in a list of forms, manually decide 
the fields and make sure everything is well set-up? And why do I need more plugins
in order to add ReCAPTCHA support, or even pay for such a basic option?

### Usage

The Contact Form Block has been designed to be used within the Gutenberg Editor.
You can modify the labels of the main fields (Name, E-mail, and Message) and the
overall design. A header can also be added, with an image and some text. The text
and color of the submit button can also be customized. There are 3 basic **_themes_**
available: None, Default and Meow Apps. None will add no styles to your contact 
form, Default will make it work on any theme, and Meow Apps will look a bit more
solid.

The shortcode [contact-form-block] can also be used, just as it is! That shortcode
can be used anywhere, in your widgets for example. Have a look at the [tutorial](https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block/tutorial/)
to learn how to use it.

For the ReCAPTCHA and the other various settings, please visit the Contact Form 
page under the Meow Apps menu in your WordPress Admin.

### Notes

 * The default behavior of this contact form is to send an e-mail to the admin of
   the WordPress install. That can be easily modified through the available WordPress
   filters.
 * ReCAPTCHA v3 is currently used as an Anti-Spam. If you are interested, you can
   also develope your own ‘human check’. Have a look at [this](https://meowapps.com/contact-form-block/tutorial/#Anti-Spam_Ask_a_question).

### Best Practices

This contact form follows the best practices, in order to guarantee a maximum conversion
rate.

 * Vertical layout (multi-columns result in a loss)
 * Labels above the fields (instead of placeholders or tricks)
 * Explicit and colorful submit button (labelled ‘Send’ instead of ‘Submit’, by 
   default)
 * A limited number of fields (after 3 fields, the conversion rate goes down)
 * No captcha (don’t worry about spams, this contact form includes ReCAPTCHA_v3,
   which is invisible)
 * Use a header (with a small image), that will motivate the user to contact you

### Limitations

This Contact Form’s goal is to remain simple and fast. New fields and features can
be added through its filters and actions, but I will not make the core more complex
and heavy.

Languages: English.

I have several Meow plugins including some of the PRO versions, so I thought I’d
try this one! This is an easy-to-use plugin that has a simple elegance. I do wish
it had a Cloudflare option as well as Captcha v3 but don’t let that put you off.
Get it!

As a freelance developer, I’ve worked with many contact form plugins over the years.
Contact Form Block stands out for its simplicity and performance. The codebase is
clean and well-documented, making it easy to extend or customize when needed. I 
love that it uses native Gutenberg blocks – no need for shortcodes or extra CSS.
The lack of bloat means faster page loads, which my clients and their visitors appreciate.
One feature I particularly like is the ability to add custom validation rules. It
gives me the flexibility to create more complex forms when required, without resorting
to heavier plugins. The only downside is the limited selection of pre-built templates,
but for a free plugin, it’s hard to complain. This has become my default choice 
for most client projects.
