Adding forms to your website

You can easily add your own customizable HostPapa Website Builder Form within the website builder. When someone fills in the form, their message will be emailed to the email address that you use to log into your HostPapa Website Builder account. You can easily change the address by clicking on the Settings link on your HostPapa Website Builder Form Widget.

HostPapa Website Builder forms include a CAPTCHA, which helps combat blank form submissions and spam. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters or digits from a distorted image that appears on the screen. The CAPTCHA is added to your form automatically but you can remove it in the Edit menu.

Here’s how to add, customize and edit your HostPapa Website Builder Form Widget:

1. Click on Widgets > Forms.

2. Drag and drop the Form Widget onto your page.

3. You have the option to choose a Contact Us or a Blank Form. Both forms allow you to add, delete, rename and move the location of your form fields.
