Online form

If you have a website, chances are you might want to add an HTML form, such as an email form or contact form. For inexperienced web designers, this could be a huge task. Many people just use templates when building a website.
Well, there is a company called Forms4Free which can help website owners add an online form to their website. For free, they will help create the form. For a one time fee of $19.95, they will also provide a formmail file, which is a processing file that gets uploaded to the website. It will process the form and email the answers from the form to the webmaster. Forms4Free is probably one of the only sites on the web which provide a formmail file.
Formmail is important since it lets web site owners process forms through their site, rather than an outside service which uses it's own server. Many html form services take the user to a page full of advertisements after the form has been submitted. This can be confusing and look unprofessional.
If any problems are encountered once the formmail file has been paid for, Forms4Free will check the hosting setup and fix any problems it finds.
