We got a huge pain relief from using other third party contact form widgets. Soon after it was released, many awesome developers customized it with their CSS abilities and gave it a new fresh look on their blogs and offered the same for other blogger users.
Every other blogger has his/her own choices and many did not like it to appear into sidebar or footer as a gadget but they wanted it to install into a separate page of the blogger like as WordPress.
I have also written a detailed post on it about How to Add Blogger Contact Form to Separate Page on Blogger. You'll find it a complete step by step guide if it is the first time you're using this contact form widget on a separate page of your blog. You'll find all other major questions answered in my previous article regarding blogger contact form not working.
What is a Responsive Contact Form For Blogger?
Well, in my previous article about it, I had customized this form but it was not a pro version at all. But when I looked into my posts area then I got to know that this is one of the most visited articles on my blog.Then I thought to re-design it from scratch again and make it Professional Looking contact form widget.
All in all, I am happy with the final design and before making it a final copy, I asked my best buddies for their Feedback on its design from time to time. I changed it accordingly many times until they marked it a Professional looking.
I have also written about how to add a contact for to Wordpress Blog, in case you are using Wordpress CSM and I have also released the CSS to customize contact form for Wordpress.
I have completed design the contact form with some professional features and I can say that how to use blogger as a website such as below;
Features of Blogger contact form widget design:
- Fully Responsive Design

- Font Awesome integration
- CSS Controlling the form
