Functionality
As far as I am concerned it does more than I will ever require from such a component but certainly seems to cover the majority of aspects.
Ease of use
I found it reasonably easy to use having been involved with other Contact extensions.
Support
This is probably the overruling aspect of any score or comment, it is second to none. The speed, interest and involvement of Douglas is tops
Documentation
The documentation is comprehensive and covers all areas, whilst there are some aspect that could be improved you can always ask Douglas
Value for money
I should say so!
I used this to: Users to submit information and photos (within technical guidelines).

Excellent Component

Excellent Support, even though I am half a day ahead from where the developer is based.

Documentation
Value for money
If you want to add advanced forms to your site, this is money well spent.
I needed to create a complex form for my client, bought another component to do this and was disappointed at how clunky and difficult it was to work with.

Then I found Contact Enhanced!

What a difference! Contact Enhanced is the gold standard for form components. It's easy to work with, very intuitive and the support is outstanding. I created a beautiful form in an hour! I needed to do a little tweaking to change the spacing and emailed the developer who responded immediately to help me. Thank you for developing this great component. My client loves her new form!
I had a few issues being that i have never worked with a component like this before. and i kind off got lost.

But every issue was addressed extremely fast with the assistance of the support team.



Within minutes of each email my questions were answered fully.



I recommend this as one of the best tools i have ever bought. And also some of the best after purchase service i have received to date.



Get it. It's worth it 10 times over!

Simply Excellent

It deserves all awards. I bought the component and the form was unable to send mail to admin (I was unable to understand the proper config). I sent a mail to Douglas, Within few minutes I got reply from Douglas and he went extra mile to look into my installation and solve the issue within few hours of my mail. Support is excellent. Worth buying this component.

Simply the best!

Quite possibly the best contact form for Joomla 1.x-3.x on the market. Whilst the subscription pricing for it seems to be the norm these days, the support you get from Douglas, the owner and lead coder, is extraordinary and well worth the price. Why is it so good? It simply works. It integrates nicely with all the major newsletter sign-up forms, and if you ask for something in particular, Douglas will make it happen. He truly does work to resolve any issues that may arise from the product, or features the product may be lacking. The securimage captcha plugin puts other captcha programs to shame, and it's free with CE. As others have noted, the Component/modules/plugins are worth their weight in gold if you want a reliable way for people to contact you.
Excellent extension, easy to install and customize. Support is very reliable. Questions in the forum will be answered in no time.

Contact Enhanced is a must-have for all my Joomla projects.
We have used this extension since a couple years ago, their source code is clean, easy to understand and customizable.



The administration area is easy to use, frontend views highly customizable for people without experience on web development.



Complete documentation; great support (very honest), is personalized and fast in reply. In our opinión this is one of the best Joomla! extensions that we used. Low price, high performance and service.



Highly recommended.
Easy install, very easy to understand and setup and, overall, very high level support! Very very nice...



I recommend to all, buying this extension.
