What's included

  • SMTP sending: emails arrive reliably
  • Spam protection via reCAPTCHA or honeypot
  • GDPR consent checkbox built in
  • Store submissions (Flamingo)
  • Automatic confirmation emails to sender

Contact Form 7 (CF7) is flexible and free, but with pure default configuration problems often arise. The most common: form emails don't reach the inbox or land in spam because WordPress sends them unauthenticated via the PHP mail function. On top come masses of spam entries when no protection is active, missing confirmation emails for senders, no GDPR consent checkbox, and no storage of requests, so lost mails can't be traced. The form design also often looks dated without adjustment.

We get your Contact Form 7 running reliably: we set up SMTP sending (e.g. via an authenticated mail server or service) so emails are delivered securely and don't land in spam. We activate spam protection via reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha or honeypot, add a GDPR-compliant consent checkbox with a link to the privacy policy and integrate database storage of submissions (Flamingo) so no request is lost. On request we style the forms to match your theme, set up conditional fields and configure automatic confirmation emails. All remote, transparent from €79/h incl. VAT, no subscription and with a free quote upfront.

Frequently asked questions

Why don't my Contact Form 7 emails arrive?
Usually WordPress sends the mails unauthenticated via PHP mail, so they get flagged as spam or blocked. We set up authenticated SMTP sending so your form emails reliably reach the inbox. We also test delivery to various providers.
How do I stop spam via my contact form?
We activate multi-layer protection: an invisible honeypot, reCAPTCHA v3 or hCaptcha and server-side filters. This reliably blocks bots without annoying real users with tedious puzzles.
Is Contact Form 7 GDPR-compliant?
CF7 can be run GDPR-compliant but must be configured correctly. We add a consent checkbox with a link to the privacy policy, disable unnecessary data storage like IP logs and ensure external services like reCAPTCHA are integrated correctly.
Can Contact Form 7 show conditional fields?
Yes, with the Conditional Fields extension fields can be shown or hidden depending on previous entries. We set up the logic so your form stays clear and only shows relevant questions.
