Best ways to make a Constant Contact signup form in WordPress

As with many things in the world of WordPress, there are many ways to accomplish your goals. When it comes to Constant Contact signup forms, there are two popular methods that we’ll cover:

1. Using the official Constant Contact plugin
2. Using an advanced form building plugin

So which solution is best? That depends on what you are trying to do. The official Constant Contact plugin works well but doesn’t offer many additional features. 

For example, if you want to get more information than Constant Contact’s forms allow, then you might need a more advanced solution.

Let’s take a look!

1. Using the official Constant Contact plugin

Building your email list is important. And, for people looking to sign up, forms are vital.

But, that’s a simple way to create a Constant Contact form. Can we suggest an option to make your Constant Contact forms even better?

2. Using an advanced form builder

Using the official Constant Contact plugin is a fine choice if you simply want to add signup forms to your WordPress site. But what if you want to do more? For example:

• Create forms with a visual editor 
• Style every area of your form
• Create custom fields for your subscriber data

If you want to do any of that, check out this WordPress forms plugin: Formidable Forms.
