Hereford Design is a website design service that creates custom made web sites.
The emphasis is to produce a high quality web site with a personal service at an affordable price.
When a site user submits information from a contact form on the website, the information is checked for validity, then emailed to the appointed site administrator. Also, an automatically generated response is displayed on the screen, then sent by email to the website user or sender.
This page lets you view and change the email addresses used on the website in this process. There are two admin entries;
1. The Outgoing email address is the one to which all submitted information will be sent, that is from the Contact Us form. For convenience, it is initially set to the owners regular ISP email address, so all email messages from this website can be collected in your usual way. All messages are properly addressed so you can easily filter them to a separate folder within your normal email program.
2. The Displayed email address is the address displayed in the automated responses. It only appears when a user has entered their own details, and after the details have been validated.
If you want to change either email address, just enter the new address and click the Update button.
NB. The email address is not displayed on the site to guard against the proliferation of spam email.
The Load Defaults button is just a quick method of reverting to the initial settings.
This is a control page, so is only accessible by admin / staff members via a login.
Hello ,
Today is: Saturday 4 February 2012
All messages for the website Owner will be sent to the Outgoing email address.
All messages to the website User will display the Displayed email address as the email address for the website.
One of the main ways to interact with your website visitors is by the use of a contact form on your website. Instead of displaying your email address with the risk of being submerged by spam email, a contact form can provide a reliable method of communication, along with some powerful enhancements to allow the formatting of the incoming information to the website owner, and in sending an automated and instant response or outgoing information to your website user.
A sample form is provided below so you can see exactly how the process works. You don't need to enter any information, just click the Send button, then check your inbox for a sample email message to the website owner (addressed to admin), and a sample email response which would normally be delivered to your website user.
Here, you can customise the outgoing email message which is sent automatically to your website users when they use a contact, message or order form.
It's all about improving your service while freeing up time to concentrate on your primary business activities / priorities.
You can personalise the message by updating this entry. Send the form below to see the results.
To see how all this works, you need to receive some sample email messages. For this purpose, we have provided a typical form with the entries pre-filled.
You can change the entries, but make sure you have access to the email address you choose.
Just click the Send button, then check your email inbox.
