How do add an email address for a contact us page? I am doing something like:

To Contact Us:

Email - thisshop.yahoo.com

How do I make that bring up an email form?

Thanks.


Use the HTML Tool and enter in <a href="mailto:me@me.com">me@me.com</a>

Thanks. That works fine, but how do I make it display in larger font. Obviously, my html IQ is zero!

You can use style tags within the HTML Tool so you can add <p></p> tags around the above code with style info such as:

<p style="font-size:10"><a href="mailto:me@me.com">me@me.com</a></p>

Just adjust the number 10 to whatever size works for you. That should work if I recall how it's entered correctly :)

That didn't do anything actually.

Why not try Form Builder instead if HTML markup is not your thing.

I need to buy more software to make Shopping Cart Creator Pro do a contact us page? Wasn't this supposed to be the EASY way to get an online shop up and running? 30 minutes I believe is the sales pitch. 3 days so far and I need to buy software to do an email contact?

Got it. You forgot the px after the font size. FYI.

You are trying to add a contact form to your shop and that isn't a shopping cart feature. The markup provide by the two of us is extremely basic stuff. If you have problems with that, then Web Form Builder would help because it does all this for you.

Also note that that this link will only work for users who have an e-mail client configured or installed. People who use web based email services, this will not work. They will have to copy and paste your address. Sort of adds a secondary step. ;)

But it's the Pro version. And most shopping carts do have a contact page. :)
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
