Option 1: Default Joomla Contact Form Component

Let's see how to create a form with the Default Joomla Form Component. It is available on every Joomla site and doesn't require you to install anything new. However, the lack of features and options for the Joomla default form element does not make it accessible compared to the existing form extension.

Create the Joomla Contact Form

First, you need to login your Joomla administrator with username and password. Then go to Components -> Contacts.

On this page you will see a green New button to create a new contacts page. Click the green "New" button. Enter your name in the Name field and any other details you want on the contact form. At last click the "Save & Close" button when you've finished.

There you will get a different tab as an option to create the Joomla form like Miscellaneous information, display, form, and publishing. "Display" tab is to change the Display Format of your Joomla contact form, where the display format's plain option will give the best layout for your form.

Link the Contact Page Into Joomla Menu

Now, we will move into the menu option to make sure that people can see the contact form. To do so, go to Menus -> Main Menu -> Add Menu Item.

Then set a "Menu Title" for your Joomla contact form, this is what people will see while browsing your site.

After that click "Contacts" and choose "Single Contact" from the drop down.

Now, we specify the exact Contact item by clicking the "Select" button next to "Select Contact". Then choose the form we've created before "My form".

That's all you have to do. Now, visit the front of your site and you'll see the Joomla form visual there. The complete Joomla Contact Form looks like below.

Option 2: Using Joomla Form Builder

We use Quix Form Builder, the revolutionary and one of the best Joomla form element to create a form. This element will help you to build any type of form including contact form, registration form, questionnaire etc.
