Hands down, this is the best contact form online. (realart.com)

Define best.

Is it the most creative? There might be an argument for that.

Is it very interesting and memorable? Sure, you've succeeded from that perspective.

But is it the most easy to use? Not a chance, and from that perspective it's very underwhelming. You have to click on the site's contact form, and then you're overwhelmed with a video feed thing. Then you have to click a teletype button and you're presented with a larger view of the typewriter. My first instinct was to click on the "Your Message Here" and start typing. When that didn't work I was about to give up until I noticed that I had to scroll down and enter the message in another form. Like a typical graphic designer, you designed something that fits your large monitors well, but is kind of crappy on a typical small notebook.

I can also see a potential customer being confused not only by how to use this, but also seeing other publicly posted messages and fearing contacting you not knowing if their private requests might be accidentally publicly posted.


Its not


How many contact forms have you used where your message is printed via WWII equipment? ;)
