Introduction
Ever wonder why your contact form isn’t getting responses?
Most websites have contact forms, but small mistakes can drastically reduce submissions. The good news? These are easy to fix.
Today, we’ll uncover 5 common contact form mistakes that might be costing you leads and how to fix them instantly with VPSUForm.
1. Asking for Too Much Information
💡 The Problem: Long forms with unnecessary fields make users abandon instantly.
Example Mistake: Asking for full address when it’s not needed.
✅ The Fix: Only ask what’s essential. With VPSUForm, you can easily remove or hide fields to keep your form short and user-friendly.
2. No Confirmation Message or Page
💡 The Problem: Users hit submit and see… nothing. They’re left wondering if their message was sent.
✅ The Fix: Always add a clear success message like:
“Thank you! We’ve received your enquiry and will respond within 24 hours.”
Use VPSUForm’s confirmation settings to set this up in seconds.
3. Poor Mobile Experience
💡 The Problem: Over 50% of users visit via mobile. If your form isn’t mobile-friendly, expect low submissions.
✅ The Fix: VPSUForm forms are fully responsive. Still, test your forms on your phone to ensure fields aren’t too small and buttons are easy to tap.
4. Missing Required Fields Validation
💡 The Problem: Users submit incomplete forms if fields aren’t marked as required, causing confusion and extra follow-up emails.
✅ The Fix: Make important fields like Name and Email required. VPSUForm makes this simple – just toggle the “Required” option while adding fields.
5. Not Using Conditional Logic
💡 The Problem: Showing all fields to all users makes forms cluttered.
✅ The Fix: Use conditional logic to show fields only when needed. For example:
-
Show “Budget” only if the reason for contact is “Project Quote”
-
Show “Upload Resume” only if the user selects “Job Application”
With VPSUForm’s conditional logic, you can create smart, clean forms that adapt to each visitor.
