An email address is the best contact form. Anything else is overengineering.

  Email has surprising hurdles IMHO. For instance it means leaving the browser and have the default email client handling it. For some people it becomes a distraction, for other they didn't even setup the default client so it's a setup screen and hey have to copy/paste the email to their gmail tab. Other people actually don't want to give their email but will give a phone number, or their Twitter handle, a chat ID, or their address, or anything else really. A form is more maintenance, but can be pretty beneficial to address a general public.

    The browser is the email client for most everyone. For everyone else it’s the gmail app.

    People who contact your business by e-mail or contact form are immensely much better customers than people who contact through a chat message or such. As a business you want to deal with e-mail customers and not WhatsApp/Messenger people, because 9 times out of 10, the chat people want an answer to a question and won't even say thanks after getting the answer and of course will never become actual customers.
