Contact Pages

[Eden]

So those of you who have a separate sub-domain or folder for your contact pages, how do you prefer to design them?

Do you make a whole layout for it, do you use forms, do you just create an image with your email? What other fun things do you think should go on a contact page?

I'm thinking of revamping mine and moving it to my non-fanisting collective. I already use a form which is handy, and I also list my email. I'm not sure if I want to use a full layout or not.

I'm also curious about what people name their sub-domain or folder: do you name it the standard "contact" or something witty like "hi"?

Usually I put my whole address in Unicode since spambots are unable to recognize it.

Forms get spammed so easily but I'm leaning towards them again because they're just so easy to use.

My contact page is here. I made it forever ago and haven't ever updated it. I should do that sometime soon!

I never thought of displaying my email in unicode. That's really clever, I might try that! My form hasn't gotten any spam since I had it up, but I'm currently doing my own form in Django since my host allows me to use Python. :D

I recently revamped my own contact page, which is about 10x simpler than what I previously had (I had a form for like, every possible thing people would have contacted me about). After awhile I realized it's not a place I expect people to be for very long (at least in my case), so I didn't spare too much time designing it.

That being said, I've toyed around with making a more complicated layout for it just because it is one of the more personal and free areas of a collective. Perhaps in the future~

I have a contact info page on my domain. The page is not all that elaborate; it's just another page in the "domain" section. Not fancy-spancy layout or anything. I used to use forms, but they got spammed like a boss.

I used to have a contact page but now I just have an email form on my collective. People can also pm me on any site I'm active at, but there are many and they're all listed there anyway so it feels repetitive to list them on another page. The form is a simple php mailer. I only get spam like once a month or less so it's not bad... At least not yet. It's so accessible I think it even encourages people to use it.

I don't have a contact page, I just put in my email more or less disguised at some point in the exits page of each site and that's it (blahblahblah@MYPANTSblahblah.com, remove my pants to get my mail)...

The reason why I prefer to avoid forms is that I know that I would never use one XD I don't know, I just prefer to use my own email?...

lol I'm lazy so I like forms. XD Email would make it easier to keep track of what you've send in... ah but having to open the inbox and click around so much hard work D: (haha I'm so lazy :P)

I have a contact page located here which I use everywhere around my domain just to make things easier for me. I've got a little bit of everything going on although it could really use a revamp. It still works though so I haven't made it a huge priority.
