Beautiful Contact Forms for your Inspiration

May. 6, 2010  |  Compilation  |  80 comments

Contact forms have evolved a lot since the days of simple bland html forms. This holds especially true for portfolio websites and design agencies.

The current designs are beautiful and can be extremely creative. Besides the common fields that everyone expects, forms can be enhanced by adding extra features such as maps, social networking information and appealing illustrations.

A solid and elegant contact form reassures the viewer’s confidence in the person or company behind the site and improves the overall experience.

In this post, we’ve collected the most creative contact forms which you can use for inspiration in your own designs.

    These look great! I love how a lot of them are so customized that they exactly match the style and design of their websites.

    Something webdesigner depot should try employing instead of just an mailto link to show everyone how it’s done :)

    Great source of inspiration, thanks for this hi-quality list )

  • Vitor Balocco

    Great list! I specially like the Socialsnack form, very simple yet so clever!

  • http://webtolerant.com Amey

    Wow some people get really creative with contact forms. I would have never thought of half this stuff.

    I always felt it was a waste because people are obviously landing on that page because they want to contact you, so there isn’t a need for anything fancy.

    Hi,
    These are really great….thanks for sharing…;)

  • http://c0de.at c0de

    Great inspiration!!!

  • http://webstandard.kulando.de Webstandard-Blog

    Great looking, OK that’s true, but the implementation of some (like Alexarts ) is horrible. No labels (Name, E-Mail,…) nothing. Where they are? They are part of the Background-Image! Never heard about accessibilty?

    • Swat Chap

      What are you talking about? There are labels in Alexarts. Look carefully

  • Eddy

    That was pretty funny, I saw all these awesome designs so I got curious to see what the contact form for this site looks like. So I clicked the link and my e-mail program opened up… Fail!

    PS Good article though.

  • http://blog.michaelsimm.de Michael Simm

    Thank you for together this inspiring collection!

  • http://prodigalconcepts.com/ rod rodriguez

    This is awesome, I’m still in the process of creating a contact form for my site and boom! I could really use the inspiration you have compiled here, thank you very much. Great post! *Thumbs-up!

  • http://www.ownidentity.nl/ Jonathan

    Wow great list!

    I really like the postcard from Lionways

  • http://www.mjcreations.co.uk Mark James

    Some amazing examples! Its surprising how much difference a well designed contact form can make!

  • http://www.thewebsitedesigncompany.co.za DIY weB duDe

    Some of these are really cool, others seems a bit over designed, but I guess it keeps surfers a bit longer on your site.

  • http://www.empfehlenswert-wien.at wien

    great post, the postcart is a really nice idea.

  • http://blog.kamarkecil.com Arif R.

    Cool, I like #4

  • http://trimbakeshwar.in trimbakeshwar temple

    This is a great list, I’ve been looking for inspiration for my own site.

  • http://sexidesign.com Melody

    These are so incredibly awesome, I especially like the “writing in sand” contact form, and the one that looks like note on paper..

    I just recently redesigned one of my sites, and this reminds me to go back and ad some of these details that only fellow designers could appreciate =P

  • http://www.seoadsensethemes.com Stanley

    Wow! Truly inspiring … some of them are mindblowing!

  • http://www.natashastorm.co.za Storm

    Stunning!

  • http://p163.sg Angelee

    Splendid! Very unique and lovely….

    Amazing! thanks for share.

  • http://www.design2express.com/ Matt Hardy

    well there is a lot of design inspiration for the web developers on this page and a useful resource to see the GUI of the all the website contact forms and it is recommended too to make the design more user friendly cause it will attract more users for using them

    Regards
    Matt

  • http://www.bluefaqs.com Shawn Ramsey

    Excellent List! I haven’t seen several many of these.

  • Sam

    Great inspiration. I like this one too – http://idoflix.com/contact/

  • http://eserrano.com E. Serrano

    That’s a great collection of contact forms which demonstrate that designing them goes far beyond a boring list of empty fields.

    On the other hand, you need to be careful with usability related subjects. While many of them are really nice to the eye, you cannot make your visitors stop and think about how to use a contact form.

    So I think that my favourites as real world forms are those that are still recognizable as standard contact forms so they don’t scare away potential contacts that have little knowledge of online media or that are really in a hurry. While it seems excessive for us, web coding / design professionals, web stats usually prove that this reasoning is mainly true with most average Internet users.

  • http://www.pbwebdev.com.au/blog Peter

    They’re great. I’ve seen some before but I’ve been inspired to redo ours

  • http://wpblast.com wpBlast

    Awesome inspiration. These are really making me want to spice up my contact page.

    Although I like almost all of them, my vote goes to Yodaa.

    Thanks for this post.

  • http://www.pwrsites.com Rob T

    This is an inspiring post for me. My current contact forms are all plain. I think it’s time for a change!

  • http://www.michaeltrangdesign.com mtrang

    great compilation of form designs.

  • http://www.designtank.ws ChrisR

    Daniel Heller’s looks great, nicely coded: BUT: it’s a single-page site and there is no visible link on the opening screen to get to the Hire Me form–a major usability issue in my mind.

  • http://www.designlint.com Zach Walsh

    These are all great creative examples, although i think some are a little less practical than others. Still very fun to look at.

  • http://www.samdailey.com SamD

    Most of those are very nice but a couple of them seem overdone/overly complicated. If the form is confusing to use it may turn away potential users.

  • http://srisakthi.com raman

    fantastic collection ya.How you got all these things.really great man.

  • http://rachel.learnless.info/ Rachel

    Holy crap, perfect timing alert! I am redesigning at the moment and lack inspiration for this very thing. Awesome!

  • http://www.hirnbix.com Oliver @ HirnBix.com

    I love inspiration…
    But not AFTER I have just created my contact form on my own site! @$#* !!

    Just kidding.
    I love a lot of the designs and the one from Gpacheco – how did he/she come up with that stuff? Genius. Sand. Wow. Beach. Great!

    Thanks for this post which encourages me to make better contact pages from now on.

    Kind regards
    Oliver
    “Contact me!”

    This is a really good place for inspiration.
    I don’t even design contact forms or any other forms for that matter.. I just build them using the standard look because I’m always under pressure and tight deadlines. O well.
    Thanks!

  • http://www.google.com/profiles/marc17 Marc

    Wow, styling contact forms is soo difficult. I can never get them to render the same even in the three main browsers. We should have awards for this by now like the emmys or something. I might have to try some of these out, hope the owners dont get mad :)
