Great for contact forms. :-)

If you’re managing multiple WordPress sites, or if you’re given multiple sudden, extremely short-notice jobs from people (e.g., less than a few hours from when you’re first told about the job to when it needs to be finished) to perform changes to their WordPress sites, among which, includes setting up contact forms at their WordPress websites (so, simply not enough time to put together any kind of super detailed, custom-designed solution for each of those websites, not really even enough time to spend the almost-barely half an hour which may be needed to write up some super basic HTML forms and PHP at the backend to process said forms, have it work properly, actually send messages to the right destination, be secure enough to not be subjected to the most basic of threats, to not be targeted by spammers, to not look ugly as hell, etc, especially if already busy doing other unrelated jobs at the time), you *could* tell the people giving you said jobs, “Sorry, I can’t do this, because I’m too busy right now, and there’s not enough time”, or you *might* be inclined, depending on who said people are, to give them the middle finger.

Another alternative, however, would be to just use Ninja Forms Contact Form to get the job done. Yes, I know, some people might argue, “Why use plugins to handle something as basic as a contact form?” ..I get it. We all get it. Truly, we do. But, when installing Ninja Forms Contact Form at an existing WordPress installation which doesn’t yet have it, activating the plugin, configuring the plugin as needed at its settings page, creating a new basic contact form using its interface, and then dumping the shortcode generated for said form into some block at some page at said WordPress installation, in total, takes me less than maybe two or three minutes to do from start to finish (assuming no unexpected complications, e.g., unrelated problematic plugins at the installation in question, files which are corrupted/damaged/outdated/etc at said WordPress installation, etc), multipled by the number of sites being worked on at the time.. that’s a big time saver, difficult to argue against, and a great way to avoid messing around too much. Just like how when making a cup of tea, if I’ve got a kettle handy, even if I was the world’s best at building campfires in the backyard to boil water in an old pot, I’d still rather use that kettle to boil some water than mess around doing something which takes longer and is less efficient (especially when said kettle meshes well with the blocks paradigm used by modern WordPress installations, while one’s old firepit in the backyard probably doesn’t, if one doesn’t mind the metaphor).

Clean, intuitive interface with a learning curve of basically zero, fast and easy to use, no nonsense, no complications (at least, none that I discovered), and works. ??
