I wish I had built my site using Wordpress but I've long since built it the traditional html way which means I would have to recode an already monstrously sized web site to tackle this. If I had to do over again, Wordpress would surely be the way to go I think. Thanks for the great post. That’s interesting.

It's easier for people to contact you for a specific job - answering the right questions, but it also means spambots and spammers find them a lot more.

Andrew, I think having it on a few pages is OK and has proved successful for me... the design I have does fit quite nicely into the page though and it is at the bottom of each page out of the way from text so these are other things one must consider before just plonking out a few new contact forms. Joey, Well you are going strong with 6 comments so far! I used to do that (link to contact page on each page) but having more forms is working for me now. There is the same amount of maintenance needed for 100 forms as it is 1 form as it is all controlled under one control panel which makes it very easy to control. Jon, Yeah, sometimes emails just never end but it has to be done. Beaulys, On select pages I believe it can be quite strategic, much alike how some websites have the phone number displayed on every page. A CV is quite different in regards to having contact forms as when reading a CV the reader has a choice of how to contact you however online, the only choice is email in most cases, especially when clients live overseas (and when you live on an island, that occurs quite often! ;) ) Doug, What CMS do you use Doug? I do not find it as bugging people, I find it more as a convenience however there are always different opinions as we can see in the comments here. Liam,

I don't know if it is a good thing to have a contact form "here and there but not here" dredged on a website. I'm not a webdesigner but if I was, I will not find it very ergonomic or user-friendly, but almost disturbing. It's like putting your phone number in every rubric of your CV. That's boring.

Anyways, as far as a contact form I usually just have one on one page, and link to it from every other page.
