By The recent introduction of EverWeb 3.0 brings many new and highly requested features to the product, such as folders in the Assets List, new customization options for the PayPal widget, pagination buttons for the blog index and archive pages and a host of additional features to the Contact Form Advanced widget. The widget’s new reCAPTCHA feature helps protect your form from spam and bots and there’s also placeholder text, a hide field control labels feature and a new styled submit button option, all of which we’ll cover in a future blog post. The highlight of the updated widget, though, has to be the new Custom Forms Enhanced Addon.
Why Should I Use Contact Forms Enhanced Addon?

The addon is also for anyone who wants their email responders to be able to upload files to them. Accessing, managing and downloading customer dat is as simple and easy as you would expect with EverWeb through your EverWeb Client Area.

Contact Forms Enhanced Addon can be on any page of your website that uses a Contact Form Advanced widget. If you more than one form in your website, that’s no problem either. You can collect data, and allow visitors to upload files to you, for more than one purpose, e.g. you could have one contact form that is used for collecting email addresses for a newsletter sign up and another form used as a customer survey.
Contact Form Enhanced can also be used for all the websites that you create under your EverWeb account. You are not restricted to using the addon on just one website project file.
