• While Contact Form 7 does work, it will only give you a rather ugly contact form which you won’t be able style without an advanced understanding of CSS, HTML and PHP. If you are not fully versed in coding and want a contact form you can style alongside your website, this is not the plugin for you.

    The reason I give this plugin 1 star is simply because if you are able to write your own CSS and PHP function code, you probably don’t need a plugin to create a contact form.

    While I get that this is a free plugin, you are better off paying for one that actually allows you to style it, than this horror which will consume days of your life for little in return.

    It almost scores 2 stars because it is the only Free Contact Form Plugin out there that connects to CRM’s like Mail Chimp. However, if you have this ugly form on your website, your customers might not be too keen on using your services in the first place.

    This plugin shouldn’t be in the WordPress library, it should be on Github or Stack Exchange for coders to play with instead of wasting everyone elses time.

    Hi @troyw2015,

    I understand your frustration, and I think you’re right in part: the learning curve for Contact Form 7 is higher as most contact form plugins you get out there. However, once you understand how it works (which you can learn in the plugin documentation or with any of the hundreds of tutorials on the web, including YouTube), you will appreciate having the flexibility that this plugin provides.
