Contact

🕊️ Contact Page Build-Out – “Say Hello” or “Come to the Table”

✅ Step 1: Page Title + URL

Title Ideas:

  • Say Hello
  • Reach Out
  • Come to the Table
  • Whisper Something Back (poetic, totally you)

URL: /contact or /say-hello

🧠 If you want it to feel more branded, /table or /connect are also on-theme.

✅ Step 2: Opening Copy (Soft, Human, On-Brand)

Here’s copy you can use, tweak, or rewrite in your voice:

Header:

Let’s make contact, not noise.

Paragraph:

Whether you have a tale to share, a story you think I should tell, or just want to say hi—I’d love to hear from you. This space is built on memory, meaning, and slow beauty. So take your time. I’ll read every word.

Optional Signature Line:

— Mattie

🎨 Visual Suggestion:

  • Soft neutral background
  • One moody image beside/underneath (e.g., notebook and pen, candlelight, linen napkin)

✅ Step 3: Contact Form Setup

You’ll need a plugin if you haven’t installed one already:

📥 Recommended Free Plugins:

  • WPForms Lite (Beginner friendly)
  • Contact Form 7 (Minimalist + lightweight)
  • Fluent Forms (Beautiful interface + easy stylizing)

Form Fields (keep it simple):

  • Name
  • Email
  • Message
  • Optional dropdown: “Why are you reaching out?” with options like:
    • “I have a story idea”
    • “I want to collaborate”
    • “Just saying hi”

Confirmation message:

“Thank you for reaching out. I read every message, even if I’m stirring something on the stove when it arrives. I’ll reply as soon as I can.”

✅ Step 4: Optional Extras

📬 Add Your Email:

If you want to display your email, style it subtly:

✉️ hello@atasteandatale.com
(or whatever email you’re using—obfuscate it if spam bots are a concern)

🌐 Add Social Icons or Links:

Keep them minimal and styled to your aesthetic.
Use icons for: Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok (if you’re ready)

✅ Step 5: Finishing Touch (Visual/Aesthetic Details)

  • Use one poetic closing line under the form:“Every good recipe starts with a conversation.”
    “The table’s always open.”
    “Say what you need. I’ll listen.”
  • Add a soft, faded border or divider line
