Having just tried JotForm (which I'm being partially successful with), could Artisteer provide a contact form set up tool which could send the input back to an indicated email address? I don't know how difficult this would be to set up, but the product is already so good I suspect that some thing could be done. I'm not entirely certain how these things work, but the JotForm seems to imply that the mails are sent via 'jotform' as a mail server? If this is the case then I understand that it might limit what Artisteer can do, but it has to be worth the asking.

Hi JOC,
Just was wondering what kind off websites yoy design with Artisteer?
If you make CMS designs like for example for Wordpress, and why would you have a contact form generator inside Artisteer?
There are several Wordpress plugins out there wich you can use for free and some of those are really good.
Regards, Antonietta

Joc is right! I use Artisteer to create HTML sites and I need various forms.
It's still possible to include your own form code within the HTML code of the Contact page for example but then, Artisteer doesn't want to save anything else then the HTML modifications you make. You lose the WYSIWYG feature and you cannot work directly on the visual page.
So, ofcourse a form designer would be great but, if it was not possible, at least Artisteer should try to solve the problem I describe.
Cheers

Artisteer is now capable of creating an entire website - content as well as design and producing a complete HTML output to upload as a fully functioning website. without touching WordPress, Joomla or any other content management software if you don't have a huge website to do.
For example, this is a work in progress. www.juliaosborneconsulting.com
This is the website I am doing the form for, and I have generated a result in jotform, though I think I can improve it which is why it isn't part of the website yet.

Hello. As I have constructed a website (www.heartlandbenefitsgroup.us) and uploaded, I find that my Contact Page does not work properly.
Specifically, no matter how hard, often, much I try to get the email link on that page to trigger the appropriate response, I get a "link appears to be broken" msg. Evidently, Artisteer keep adding 3 characters, "%20", between the words "mail" and "to". Neither the Hyperlink button or going to the html source will correct the situation.
I have a Tech Support question in, but who knows when/if I might get the corrective answer.
Might anyone here have any suggestion(s)? Much appreciated!

I am the farthest thing from an expert that it is possible to find, but this is what I did:
I made a new block and put the words 'Send Email' into it
I then highlighted and right clicked and 'edit source HTML' and typed in the box the following
<p><span style="color:rgb(255, 226, 41);">Click below to learn more:</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(255, 226, 41);"><br /></span></p>
<span style="font-family:Arial;"><a href="mailto:emailaddy@emaildomain.whatever?Subject=Email%20from%20JOC%20website"><span style="color:rgb(255, 226, 41);">Send Email</span></a></span>
<p><br /></p>
For good measure I also right clicked and did 'Hyperlink Options' In the text box I wrote "Send email" and the address box I wrote
mailto:emailaddy@emaildomain.whatever?Subject=Email from my website
For what it's worth I think the 'For good measure' bit is what actually works!! N.B. and from what I understand of the systems it should, but it depend on your intended audience having an email sending prog, on the PC they are viewing it with. I don't know if it would work for someone only using webmail, but most of my intended audience will be running desktop email. I think you will need to maintain the spacing given above.
This is not part of any contact form, but does seem to work to fire my system to send me an email. I hope you can make sense of this.
No guarantees, and back up a copy of your work prior to trying etc. in case the worse happens as I am no expert.

I just started using Artisteer 3 a few weeks ago for the first time.
How I solved the form issue is by using coffeecup software's form builder. It build flash forms and exports the html code and all the files into the folder with your main site.
All you have to do is cut and paste the code in and upload everything to your domain. It's great because the form is completely self contained. You can have the results sent to several different address or even one if you like.
I bought the program a few years ago and love it. It saves me a lot of time and hassle adding forms to "regular sites." I love Wordpress, but if you're not looking to build a blog - I find regular sites built with Artisteer is the way to go. More overall control over the whole process (in my opinion)

Hello guys,
I have just been trying this software, and its very impressive for someone like me, a non-coder... but this gap in Artisteer is quite a big one IMO. I have tried two different sets of codes to paste in the contact page, and though it showed up as a form with fields to fill in within Artisteer, when i previewd in browser, the contact page had no form at all. I tried chrome, firefox and ie.
Here is one of the codes I tried, from a site called free contact form dot com.
<form name="htmlform" method="post" action="html_form_send.php">
<table width="450px">
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<label for="first_name">First Name *</label>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top"">
<label for="last_name">Last Name *</label>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<label for="email">Email Address *</label>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<label for="comments">Comments *</label>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<textarea name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="25" rows="6"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> ( <a href="http://www.freecontactform.com/html_form.php">HTML Form</a> )
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
