Easy Contact is a simple contact form that utilizes the <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" title="Sandbox theme for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">Sandbox</a> design patterns to create a highly semantic, XHTML-based contact form you can insert using <code>[easy-contact]</code> on any page or post.
Easy Contact features spam-reduction measures, GUI-based customization, carbon copying option, and more. Emails include tracked referrer information, including keywords for search-based landings, user agent, and IP.
Easy Contact is for WordPress 2.6.x and features:
<ul>
<li>Out-of-the-box function using shortcode without editing any files</li>
<li>Options menu for complete customization of form content</li>
<li>Spam reduction measures, i.e., math- and/or challenge-based question</li>
<li>Secure plugin operation and highly semantic XHTML</li>
<li>Use of the Sandbox comment form design patterns</li>
<li>An included starter CSS file with corresponding images</li>
<li>Tracked information, e.g., user agent, user referrers, IP</li>
</ul>
Based partially on the classic <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contact-form/" title="WP Contact Form for WordPress" rel="ugc">WP Contact Form</a>, Easy Contact includes newer WordPress features (e.g., shortcode) and greatly improved form security. Easy Contact is just another contact form, except built with clean XHTML and improved security.
<h3>Use</h3>
After activating this plugin, simply use the shortcode <code>[easy-contact]</code> wherever you want the Easy Contact form. This shortcode takes no attributes.
<pre><code>[easy-contact]
</code></pre>
You will also want to customize the Easy Contact plugin from the Settings > Contact options menu. Here you can set the email address to receive submissions, text for legends, labels, and prompts, turn on spam reduction measure(s), etc.
Included with Easy Contact is a example style sheet file with images. Easy Contact features dynamic classes, so when an input field is returned to the user for an error-related issue, the input is given the class <code>error</code>, etc.
If you are using the Sandbox or a Sandbox-based theme template, you probably won’t need much (if any) CSS customization, as Easy Contact shares the same design patterns as the Sandbox comment form.
And so on. A very simple plugin.

WCP Contact Form

I'm writing a book about WordPress for the non-techie, and this is the best contact form I've found with an easy configuration screen and a full set of features. The default settings are also right, except that you'll want to use the little gear on the Captcha field to change it to use reCAPTCHA, once you've entered your keys.



Best for ease of use

Cool !

The contact form plugin with dynamic fields, reCAPTCHA and other features that makes it easy to add custom contact form on your site in a few clicks
