Contact Form 7 forms can be as responsive and interactive as an app, just by adding Google’s “Material Design” theme.

Contact Form 7 style

This plugin provides a bunch of shortcodes that are made to wrap around your CF7 form tags and apply a material design theme to them.

Contact Form 7 + Material Design in action

Take 30 seconds and see how your contact forms could look. Watch the video below and/or play with the live demos.

What’s new in Version 2.0?

  • Uses the new Material Design. Text and select fields now come in boxed and outlined variants. Textareas now have an inner label. Check out the screenshots below.
  • New button variants. Elevated (default), unelevated and outlined.
  • Better browser support. IE11, iOS8+, plus all the modern browsers.
  • Custom CSS now has syntax highlighting.
  • You can choose to continue using the original/legacy styles if you prefer.

Contact Form 7 can be more interactive

Make your form fields react to user input more intuitively. Field labels start as placeholders and float up when you focus the field. Checkboxes and radios animate when you click them. Submit buttons include the Material Design ‘ripple’ effect. And more!
