Personally I dislike using contact forms. If the email address is shown I’ll just use that. Some people say you’ll get spammed that way but that hasn’t been my experience. These days unless a client specifically requests a form I will use a simple mailto: link and avoid the hassle.
- stanmancan 4y agoI find myself reaching for both depending on the situation. I usually prefer to list an email address instead of a generic "Send us a message" form but there are lots of times when I (or a client) wants to collect specific information; in those cases contact forms are great.
- pkaeding 4y agoAs a consumer, I also usually prefer an email address, because then I have a record of what I sent, when. This is helpful if I am sending similar messages to a few companies, seeking a quote (eg for some work on my home). I can look back and be sure that I haven't gotten a reply from a company because they never responded, rather than because I never contacted them.
