I have used Contact Enhanced for almost a year now and I love it! The extension has many unique features for a contact form. The coding is clean and the CSS is attractive. It's "plug-and-play" simple to use. The only problem I've experienced is that the contact form doesn't use the template's CSS for the text fields and submit button. But I love this contact form so much that I don't mind manually editing it to match my template's CSS.



Ideal frequently updates this extension (more often than I've seen with any other extension), so make sure you are informed of their latest releases by subscribing to their e-newsletter.



I also have to give 2 thumbs up for Ideal's amazing customer service. They are very prompt at answering your questions and solving your problems. This is the best customer service I have EVER seen with a Joomla product!



Thanks, Ideal, keep up the outstanding work! Love your products and service!
I have used this extension on two of my sites for about a year now. This extension works wonderfully and I haven't even begun to explore it's full feature set. Any questions I have had were answered completely and promptly by Douglas. Updates and fixes are released regularly.
It's rare to find a developer that provides as much support and expertise as Douglas does. Not only is his extension a welcome addition to anyone who needs a proper contact form or simply a form, it fills a large whole in the contact forms category.



Any time I've had an issue, I've simply emailed him and he responds quickly and accurately. I was looking for a way to migrate from qcontacts without having to redo my contacts, and he whipped up an importer within a day. Outstanding!



I'll be renewing my license when the time comes as this is an extension I literally can't live without.

A brilliant extension

A brilliant extension and even more brilliant (unique) service. I have to say THANKS, I can really recommend this extension

Terrific Addition



Posted on 27 January 2012
A fast, easy way to really spice up your contact page. Add all kinds of custom form fields and use the sidebar to provide related information to users. Love the Google Maps integration. It's such a pleasure to encounter great documentation and fast service. Had one puzzling CSS issue. Douglas got back me inside of an hour. He quickly spotted what line of code needed fixing. Took me but a few seconds. Presto! The component saved me many hours of fiddling for a small, reasonable price.

Excellent support

This is an excellent extension which have so many features, other than that they provide unbelievable support, quick respond.
I first tried out the AJAX Contact extension which worked very well with little setup and effort. When I needed a more robust solution for a site I was developing, I again turned to Ideal Extensions for a solution. The Contact Enhanced extension is replete with features and works well. What really sets it apart is the documentation: an easy to follow crib sheet is available on the website that makes setup a breeze.



Most importantly, the level of support that Douglas provides is some of the best I've ever encountered with any developer, and the best among any Joomla extension developers. He has always answered any and all questions almost immediately and I highly recommend his solutions for Joomla.
I was actually looking for something simple (just to add an extra field without having to modify core code) and found it in CE! This component actually opened up many options for us we didn't think were possible (different questionnaires/forms etc) so I am excited to have found this.



The complete package only costs a few $$ more, but it's well worth it - the price is right and the support on their site seems great. Not that it's needed since all the set up options are extremely easy to find or are intuitive and if you're stumped just search through their forum. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for better contact (ENHANCED) contact forms over the default Joomla forms.
This is one of my favorite extensions, well worth the money!



I use this extension on all my sites, recently I had an issue saving new custom fields, so I contacted the developer through their website, and Douglas contacted me within minutes, suggesting that another plugin was conflicting, he was correct, problem solved!



I highly recommend this extension, excellent extension & outstanding support!

Excellent support

A client wanted 3 different contact forms to be integrated with 3 different AcyMailing lists. I already figured out how to a integrate all forms to one mailinglist. One question to the developer about this 'issue' was answered within minutes. Now it works. Everybody happy! I can only recommend this wonderful extension to everyone wanting usefull automation in their websites.
