Contact and Quote Form Basic Steps
The contact form and quote form use a CGI script in your hosting cgi-bin folder to send messages through your server.
Step 1 - Edit the HTML page:
Open the contact.htm page and replace "your-web-domain.com" in 3 spots (see code below) with your domain. Using Notepad or any text editor is the fastest way to do this.
.cgi or .pl NOTE: In the "contact.htm" or "quotes.htm" in the step above you may need to edit formmail.cgi to formmail.pl.
Step 3 - Install or upload formmail Click here for the quick steps to setup the script if you have Allwebco hosting or a cgi-bin. If your hosting company provides formmail, you can install it in your control panel. If your hosting company provides a different "contact form script" you should be able to generate a form in your control panel and add or replace the hidden code on the contact.htm. Or, if you have a cgi-bin you can and set it up yourself in your hosting space. You will need FTP software like CuteFTP to upload the script. Once you download FormMail follow the included directions for setup.
Step 4 - Setup your e-mail

NOTES:
FormMail is the CGI script that makes the contact form work. Talk to your hosting company and see if they can add that for you or, if you have a cgi-bin and can install that yourself. If not see if they have a "contact form script" that you can use.
