Are you searching for the best contact form plugin for WordPress?
I recently installed a premium contact form plugin known in the web design industry as Gravity forms.
One of the most popular uses of this plugin is the email subscription addons.
They collect the name and email address of the subscriber, adds it to a list, redirects the subscriber to another page with more detail and a download link, then sends them an email which includes a download link and offer to subscribe by RSS.
Not unlike what an email service like aweber does just better because it sends the emails to the subscriber from your own email address and you don’t have to pay an ongoing monthly fee.
Not bad for a plugin with also offers addons for PayPal Pro, Aweber, MailChimp, Authorize.net and more.
This demonstrates why Gravity forms is the most popular premium plugin far superior to contact form 7 or any other form plugin.
You not only get a great little autoresponder which sends out plain text to your new opt ins including links, the email gets sent from your own email address.
Standard Fields
The plugin allows you to add html to your forms which means you can adds links and images, video and pretty much anything you like.
Advanced Fields
No coding needed when building your custom forms, it’s simply drag and drop using the premade functions at your disposal.
Gravity forms allows you to easily create any type of submission forms, feedback forms, polls and surveys to name just a few.
Post Fields
Have you ever seen a form that includes eCommerce?
This plugin enables you to accept payments and donations as well as integrating with the best third party eCommerce providers and email marketing services.
Create Order Forms & Pricing Fields
Create order forms easily for all your products and services.

You can also use this form plugin to accept new content from your site visitors as guest post which will be saved as a post draft so all you need to do is view and publish.

Thanks for the great article! I really like Contact Form 7 and you are the second person who recommended Gravity Forms.
I’m a WordPress developer and I think I am going to check out Gravity Forms on my next site.
Best premium WP plugin in my opinion
I’d also try out the contact form included in Jetpack. Its high quality, runs spam through Akismet and easy to customize as well as being free.
