Running an online business is very similar to managing a physical shop because the criteria for increasing sale is based on the same golden parameter – “user experience”. This is one reason why we usually see beautiful, smart girls at the front desk especially in the hospitality industry. No puns intended!!
With the goal of making the site more user friendly, the concept of UX design was born. UX stands for user experience design and is based on technical as well as business analytics. So, a UX designer must step in the shoe of a visitor in order to find the right combination between aesthetic and feasibility after taking account of a lot of different variables. And this is where I recommend to building WordPress site, which are designed to be (or born to be!) user friendly.
For example, collecting user information is vital but the process must be smooth enough to mitigate the usual page loading experience which can make the user impatient. There are times when users fill the whole form and wait till the page refreshes to find whether the submission was successful, or they have to redo the process. However, with AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML), a JavaSript programming technique, users can submit the form without reloading a page and receive confirmation messages in the same page without waiting. AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML but it is not a programming language. With AJAX, you can also squeeze a form in a modal popup. This enhances user engagement by offering a better form of submission experience.
Before teaching you how to make a WordPress AJAX contact form easily, here is the disclaimer: If you have less idea about WordPress or someone less interested in writing codes himself, this blog is not for you. Better get in touch with a freelance WordPress developer and don’t forget to share the idea of creating a WordPress AJAX contact form as you already know how important UX is.
Let’s look, how you can easily make a WordPress AJAX contact form
Then save and publish your content and visit your website to test the AJAX functionality. You can also add your form to a sidebar widget, by going to Appearance >> Widgets page and add the WPForms widget to a sidebar. Now, select the form created and click on the Save button to set the widget settings and the AJAX-powered form on your website is ready.
There is no second thought about the efficiency of WordPress AJAX in providing ease of interaction with the customer and thereby increasing customer satisfaction. It is a powerful part of UX design which webmasters cannot ignore!
