Micro Contact Form does one thing: it gives visitors a simple way to contact you. The form includes name, email, subject, and message fields. No setup required, no database tables, no clutter.
Add the shortcode [micro_contact_form] to any page, post, or widget and visitors can contact you immediately. Submissions are sent to your WordPress admin email address by default, or to a custom address configured in the plugin settings.
