I’ve had a WP site for nearly 2 years for my home custom cake & treat business and I’ve been using the default WP contact form due to budget reasons. However, I have clients who are unable to submit order requests. It doesn’t matter if it’s mobile/desktop or which browser they use. This has spurred me to look for an alternative contact form (ideally free because, ya know, budget constraints).
* I want a form that has these ideal capabilities:
* Get in Touch Page (Order Form)
* Capture orders and send them to my email
* Capture email sign-ups on the order form and send them to Mail Chimp (hell, I’ll take a spreadsheet at this point)
* Rest of Site
* An email signup field at the bottom of each page. (My GO theme doesn’t allow for it in the footer and unfortunately, I’m not code-savvy enough to add it.)
I fell down the “search” rabbit hole on the WP group and saw that many liked Fluent Forms, Gravity (no free version), and Contact 7. I looked at each but I’d like to get recommendations from people who actively use them. Apologies if the contact form text in the pic is microscopic.
Thanks!

Before getting another plugin, you need to understand why your clients can’t submit order requests. A common issue I see people posting about here is that notification emails aren’t being sent. Often this is because their SPF/DMARC records aren’t configured, which are rapidly becoming a requirement by most SMTP servers (MS, G, Y! now require it) – changing your form builder won’t fix that.
