UX In Contact Forms: Essentials To Turn Leads Into Conversions

by

A contact form can seem a simple thing: a means of enabling users to send to an organisation a query or question. The truth, however, is that they are more complex than that – if their full potential is to be realised. You need to get the user experience – or UX – right.

What are you paying for with a new website?

So you want a new website. Good choice!

Yet branding, in actuality, is far more than any of these single elements. Sure, it can be said to involve all of them – but at its most fundamental level, branding is what encapsulates a company͛s USP, it is what communicates their values, their identity and what it is that connects a business, with its target market.
