    What is Page Template?

    Page templates are a specific type of template file that can be applied to a specific page or groups of pages. Read more on WordPress about Why people use template files?

    • Page template is used to change the look and feel of a page.
    • A page template can be applied to a single page, a page section, or a class of pages.
    • If a page template has a template name, WordPress users editing the page have control over what template will be used to render the page.
    Mostly people want different look, feel and functions at a specific page(s). WordPress let them create templates as many as they want.

      Why I Need a Contact Form?

      There are many reasons why you need a form that let your visitors contacting you, we will mention some of them briefly:

      1. Security: Do not expose your Email address to protect it from hackers and spammers.
      2. Reachability: A contact form gives your visitors an easy way to send you a message right from your website.
      3. Availability: You can’t be available in person or by phone 24×7.  Give visitors a way to contact you, even when you aren’t available.
      4. Convenience: Make it as easy as it’s possible for your audience to reach you. When visitors/costumers can reach you without even opening their email page or app, your chance to be visited or be sold, increases.
