Best Contact Us Page in the World
-
I was just writing a 'contact us' page and I was thinking how dull it was looking, so I was wondering if any knew of a nice looking 'contact us' page that I could use as *ahem* inspiration? This isn't a coding query. Thanks

Whatever you do, make it easy to find!! I hate burrowing through sites just to find a contact address. It really gives the impression the company doesn't want to hear from you, which is not a good impression to give. On that note, if you're interested in feedback and user opinions, and giving the impression you care about them, check out UserVoice[^]/. Here's a sample page I created for my upcoming OrangeNote program: http://orangenote.uservoice.com/[^] Logan

It depends what perspective you're looking at it from - from a corporate view you'll want to make the support team as difficult to reach as possible (or even use a wrong address?), however from a consumer point of view you'll want it to be as easy to find as possible.. Seems like a dilemma to me :confused: Regards, --Perspx

Do you mean a contact us page that just displays info, or one for suggestions or problems? If it's for suggestions or problems... The other day I was looking for the contact us page at apple.com. It took me a while to find it, but it was pretty nice once I did. They have a nice setup with drop downs to select what productyou are contacting them for and why. It was very easy to use. Hope this helps.
Thanks, I like the page of information approach and the FAQs - not strictly what I was after, but now that I've seen it I think that it will be useful. Cheers.

I think that punters will generally check the top and bottom of the home page for contact us info - as long as it is in either place I think that's enough. Never seen UserVoice before - looks interesting as long as there is enough traffic. Good idea though.

My point was as long as it's on the homepage and not buried under countless other quasi-related pages like home->support->technical help->issues->where to get help->contact->faq->last resort->email :)

Nice and subtle, did the like the free consultation graphic touch - that is what catches the quick scan. Thanks.

I guess that wordy and subtle rather than flashy and colourful - the apple one is a good start point. Thanks for taking the time.
