Simple contact form plug-in provides a simple Ajax based contact form for your wordpress website. User entered details are stored into database and at the same time admin will get email notification regarding the new entry. And we have option to stop sending emails to admin. This plug-in generates images (known as “Captcha’s”) which contain security codes used for protecting a form from spam.
Live demo available on sidebar. Usually the contact form means it send contact details to admin via mail (Including famous contact form 7 Plugin). But this plugin stores the entered details into database also it sends the entered details to admin via mail, we have option to stop the mail service.
Admin can send the Mails/Newsletters to those entered emails via my another famous plugin (Email newsletter plugin)
