FormLogix and Syronex

Formlogix (www.formlogix.com) and Syronex (www.syronex.com) are two great organizations that provide tools that will allow your SightPage visitors to contact you safely and efficiently, while at the same time helping fight the war against your SightPage email getting unwanted and annoying spam.

Most web site owners quickly realize that if you display your full email address on your web site, it won't take long before you start getting spam. And most of the evil spam organizations automate the harvesting of email addresses around the web, so it's likely just a matter of time before your inbox starts filling up with junk.

Here at SightPage, we use and recommend tools from FormLogix and Syronex to help your visitors contact you.

Syronex provides a useful little utility that actually encrypts your email address into a simple script that we cut and paste into your SightPage. Instead of displaying your email address, your visitors see an "email us" link, which appears to open as a normal email for most visitors. But behind the scenes, the simple encrytpion is enough to deter any automated collection of your email address. It's quite a handy little tool. And they can also request your visitors fill out one of those funky "challenge" fields - those pictures where the letters are all mangled and you have to enter the text to comlete the field. Let us know if you want to add that to your Sightpage for a little extra security (and a little extra perceived sophistication, too).

Also, while you're visiting: if you have a spare 10 seconds, please help Syronex test the future technology used in their anti-spam solutions. It's the least we can do for saving us from all that spam, right?

FormLogix provides yet another tool that we use and recommend. I'll soon be writing a little about Widgets and will be mentioning this great company again soon, but in sticking with the Contact theme here, FormLogix is worth noting.

They have a handy utility that creates forms that we can easily embed into your SightPage for you. And they have some free forms that are already preconfigured for standard Contact Us, Newsletter Signup, Support Questions, Feedback, etc. A visitor to your SightPage simply fills out the form and you get an email with all the form data. Pretty handy.

FormLogix also provides advanced Form Creator tools for a small cost per form - usually just over $1 a month per form. We'll be adding a few of their forms soon to our main page - and perhaps into some customer survey emails as well - so getting the monthly subscription for the advanced tools is a no-brainer for us. So we'll easily be able to build any custom form for your SightPage and integrate it for you. Contact Support and we'll help you get a form from FormLogix set up quickly. Be sure to visit FormLogix - there's simply too many form ideas to list here...

So two more great reasons to Just Get a SightPage : protected email from Syronex and customized forms from FormLogix.
