Although not part of WordPress out-of-the-box, several webform plugins are available and at least one is often installed/enabled on many WordPress websites for general contact forms.   Among the leading contenders include:

• ContactForm7 [https://contactform7.com/] (free); typically used with Flamingo plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/flamingo/] & Postman plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/postman-smtp/]
• Gravity Forms [http://www.gravityforms.com/] (commercial plugin)
• NinjaForms [https://ninjaforms.com/] (commercial plugin)

Through their built-in functionality and enabling a few related plugins, these webform plugins can be highly customizable and used for much more than a general contact form. Examples include multi-page applications, event registrations, and more.

This section features instructions for some of the more common webform implementations and uses.
