Ask HN: Contact form. Serious enough?

Is it worth to implement contact form? Are people so lazy to contact with you via regular email? Opinions?

I wrote a webapp to handle your contact form.

http://www.strikeform.com/

You just copy and paste a few lines of javascript onto your page and it generates a contact form, handles validation, and e-mail delivery. It's very basic, it asks for Name, E-mail, and Message. If anyone wants more features/fields added just let me know.

The reason I wrote this was because I got sick of having to make a contact us page for every site I was building, but I felt that having a contact us page is pretty important.

We have several sites where a contact form and direct email address are displayed on the same page.

Very few (<20%) use direct email.

YMMV - HTH.

Split test this yourself. Every situation is different
