Build a custom form

Start from a template or build your own with up to ten extra fields.

In Customize, on the Lead Generation tab, set Contact method to Contact form. A Template setting appears.

The templates

Contact us for general enquiries.

Request a quote for businesses that price per job.

Book a consultation for appointment based services.

Custom to build your own.

The first three are fixed. They are sensible defaults and you cannot change their fields, which keeps them predictable.

Build a custom form

Choose Custom to unlock two extra settings: Form title and Fields.

Form title

Add a title of up to 80 characters. This is the headline visitors will see, so make it about them: “Tell us about your project”, not “Lead capture form”.

Fields

Every form includes Name and Email by default. These cannot be removed.

You can add up to 10 additional fields. Each field can be one of these types:

TypeGood for
TextCompany name, city, order number
EmailA second contact address
PhoneA callback number
Long textOpen responses like “Tell us what you need”
DropdownA fixed list of options, entered as comma separated choices

Each field can also be marked Required or Optional.

Keep it short

Shorter forms get more submissions. Extra fields add friction, so only ask for what you need to make the first follow up useful.

For most businesses, that usually means:

  • Name
  • Phone
  • A short description of what they want

Where submissions go

Submissions go straight into Leads, along with the form name, so you can see where each lead came from.

They are also emailed to the people you specify. See Manage leads.

Spam protection

Forms are protected automatically. You do not need to configure anything.

What to do next

Set up lead email notifications.
