Creating a functional and visually appealing Contact page in Ghost is simple. Follow the steps below to get started:

Step 1: Create the Contact Page

  • Log in to your Ghost Admin Dashboard.
  • Navigate to the Pages section and create a new page titled Contact.
  • Add your desired content using the Ghost editor. This can include a short message, contact instructions, or location information.

Step 2: Add a Contact Form

To make your Contact page functional, you can integrate a form. Below are three recommended tools to easily add a contact form to your Ghost site:

  1. Google Forms
  2. Jotform
  3. Formspree.io
  4. Formspark.io

Google Forms and Jotform can be embedded directly into your Ghost page using an <iframe>.

Example Embed (Google Forms or Jotform)

<iframe
  src="YOUR_FORM_URL_HERE"
  width="100%"
  height="500"
  frameborder="0"
  marginheight="0"
  marginwidth="0"
  >Loading…</iframe
>

Example Form (Formspree)

To use Formspree, paste the following form code into your page’s HTML section:

<form
  class="themeix-contact-form"
  action="https://formspree.io/your@email.com"
  method="POST"
>
  <input type="text" name="your-name" placeholder="Your Name" required />
  <input type="email" name="_replyto" placeholder="Email" required />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit" class="themeix-contact-btn">Send Message</button>
</form>

Replace your@email.com with your actual email address registered with Formspree.

Example Form (Formspark)

<form
  class="themeix-contact-form"
  action="https://submit-form.com/your-form-id"
>
  <input
    type="hidden"
    name="_redirect"
    value="https://your-website.com/thanks"
  />
  <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your Name" required />
  <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required />
  <textarea name="message" placeholder="Message" required></textarea>
  <button type="submit" class="themeix-contact-btn">Send Message</button>
</form>

Replace your-form-id with your actual form id.

Optional Styling

You can customize the appearance of your form by adding inline styles or editing your theme’s CSS. Here’s a quick example for custom button and element colors:

<style>
  .themeix-contact-form {
    max-width: 600px;
    margin: 2rem auto;
    padding: 2rem;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    border: 1px solid #e5e7eb;
    border-radius: 12px;
    box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    gap: 1.2rem;
  }

  .themeix-contact-form input,
  .themeix-contact-form textarea {
    width: 100%;
    padding: 0.8rem 1rem;
    border: 1px solid #d1d5db;
    border-radius: 8px;
    font-size: 1rem;
    transition: border-color 0.3s, box-shadow 0.3s;
  }

  .themeix-contact-form input:focus,
  .themeix-contact-form textarea:focus {
    border-color: #6366f1;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 3px rgba(99, 102, 241, 0.2);
    outline: none;
  }

  .themeix-contact-form textarea {
    min-height: 120px;
    resize: vertical;
  }

  .themeix-contact-btn {
    background-color: #6366f1;
    color: #ffffff;
    border: none;
    padding: 0.9rem 1.4rem;
    font-size: 1rem;
    border-radius: 8px;
    cursor: pointer;
    transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
  }

  .themeix-contact-btn:hover {
    background-color: #4f46e5;
  }
</style>

With these steps, your Ghost site will have a professional Contact page that includes a working form and styling that matches your brand.
