Building a Contact Page in Webflow

In this tutorial, we will be creating a contact page for a website using Webflow. The purpose of this contact page is to make it easy for users to reach out and get in touch. We will be creating a hero section that includes a contact form, as well as adding a navbar and a sticky footer to the page.

Setting Up the Hero Section

Before we begin creating the contact page, it's important to start designing from the base break point. This ensures that the design is responsive and looks good on all devices.

To create the contact page, we'll first navigate to the "Pages" section in Webflow and add a new page called "Contact."

Adding Elements to the Hero Section

The hero section of the contact page will consist of two main elements: a heading and a contact form. To start, we'll add a section element and give it a class of "hero." Inside the section, we'll add a container by using the "Container" shortcut (Command K) and applying the class "container."

Next, we'll add a heading element using the Command K shortcut and apply the class "heading." We can customize the text of the heading as per our preference. For example, "I'd love to hear from you!"

After adding the heading, we'll insert the contact form using the "Command K" shortcut and adding the class "contact form."

Customizing the Heading

To customize the styling of the heading, we can make use of existing heading styles or create a custom one to match the design. In this example, we'll duplicate the existing heading style and name it "larger heading." We'll adjust the size, line height, and color of the heading to match the design specifications.

We can also create a color swatch for the specific color used in the design to maintain consistency across the project.

Adding the Navbar and Footer

After setting up the hero section, we'll proceed to add the navbar and footer to the contact page.

Adding Symbols

We can easily add the navbar and footer to the page using Webflow's symbols feature. By accessing the symbols panel, we can place the navigation symbol at the top of the page body and the footer symbol at the bottom outside of the section.

Ensuring Sticky Footer

To ensure that the footer sticks to the bottom of the page, especially on shorter pages, we need to make use of flexbox.

By selecting the body element and setting it to flex, we can ensure that the footer remains at the bottom regardless of the page height. This can be done by applying the "flex" setting to the body's "All Pages" tag. We can then edit the footer symbol and set the top margin to "auto," which will automatically stick the footer to the bottom of the page.

Checking Responsiveness and Fluidity

After adding the hero section, navbar, and footer, it's important to check the responsiveness and fluidity of the contact page across different breakpoints. By previewing the page on various devices, we can ensure that the design looks good and functions properly on all screen sizes.

Adding reCAPTCHA Validation

To improve the contact form's security and reduce spam submissions, we can integrate reCAPTCHA validation. This additional step helps to verify that the form submissions are made by humans and not automated bots.

By adding reCAPTCHA to the contact form, we can enhance the overall user experience and protect against potential spam messages.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to create a contact page in Webflow by building a hero section with a contact form, adding a navbar and footer using symbols, ensuring that the footer sticks to the bottom of the page, and checking responsiveness across different breakpoints. We also discussed the importance of adding reCAPTCHA validation to the contact form for improved security.

By following these steps, you can effectively design and build a functional contact page for your website using Webflow, providing users with a seamless way to get in touch.
