Every week, we provide you with new and free Divi layout packs which you can use for your next project. For one of the layout packs, we also share a use case that’ll help you take your website to the next level.

This week, as part of our ongoing Divi design initiative, we’re going to show you how to add a fixed contact form corner popup to your page using Divi’s sizing options. This approach will help you set up a contact form that follows visitors through their stay on your website, without the need for an additional plugin!

Let’s get to it.

Before we dive into the tutorial, let’s take a quick look at the outcome across different screen sizes.

1. Upload Chiropractor Layout Pack Landing Page

Add New Page

Start by creating a new page. Once you’ve named the page and published it, switch over to Visual Builder.

Upload Chiropractor Layout Pack Landing Page

Upload the Chiropractor Layout Pack landing page next. Although we’ll use this specific layout, you can make the technique work on any page you’re working on.

2. Let’s Start Recreating!

Add New Section to Bottom of Page

We’re going to dedicate an entirely new section to the fixed contact form pop up on click. Add this section to the bottom of your page.

fixed contact form

Background Color

Open the section settings and use an entirely transparent background color. Later on this post, we’ll make the entire section fixed. Using a transparent background color will make sure everything that appears below the section container shows through.

  • Background Color: rgba(255,255,255,0)

Sizing

Move on to the design tab and change the width of the section across different screen sizes.

  • Width: 37% (Desktop), 95% (Tablet), 100% (Phone)
  • Section Alignment: Right

fixed contact form

Spacing

Remove the default top padding next.

  • Top Padding: 0px

fixed contact form

CSS Class

We’ll need to give our new section a custom CSS class as well. Later on the post, we’ll use this CSS class to add some JQuery and CSS code.

  • CSS Class: section-open

fixed contact form

Default Z Index

To make sure the section appears on top of all page content, we’ll increase the section z index in the visibility settings.

  • Z Index: 99

fixed contact form

Hover Z Index

Add the same z index value on hover as well.

  • Z Index: 99

fixed contact form

Add Row #1

Column Structure

Continue by adding a new row to the section using the following column structure:

fixed contact form

Add Blurb Module

Leave Content Boxes Empty

The first and only module we need in this row is a Blurb Module. Make sure you leave the title and content boxes empty.

fixed contact form

Select Icon

Select an icon next.

Background Color

Change the blurb background color too.

  • Background Color: #FFFFFF

fixed contact form

Icon Settings

Move on to the design tab and apply the following icon settings:

  • Icon Color: #ff5f24
  • Icon Placement: Top
  • Use Icon Font Size: Yes
  • Icon Font Size: 46px (Desktop), 30px (Tablet), 25px (Phone)

fixed contact form

Sizing

Modify the sizing settings across different screen sizes next.

  • Width: 140px (Desktop), 105px (Tablet), 80px (Phone)
  • Module Alignment: Right

fixed contact form

Spacing

We’ll also add some custom top and bottom padding values across different screen sizes.

  • Top Padding: 50px (Desktop), 35px (Tablet), 25px (Phone)
  • Bottom Padding: 20px (Desktop), 10px (Tablet), 0px (Phone)

fixed contact form

Border

To create a circular shape, we’ll need to add a high value to each one the corners in the border settings. We’re using ‘500px’.

fixed contact form

Box Shadow

We’ll also add a subtle box shadow to allow the circular shape to show up.

  • Box Shadow Blur Strength: 80px

fixed contact form

Animation

Open the animation settings next and remove the icon animation.

  • Icon Animation: No Animation

fixed contact form

CSS Class

Last but not least, add a CSS class to the Blurb Module. Later on this post, we’ll use this CSS class to make the click function work.

  • CSS Class: contact-open

fixed contact form

Add Row #2

Column Structure

On to the second row! Use the following column structure:

fixed contact form

Background Color

Without adding any modules yet, open the row settings and add a white background color.

  • Background Color: #FFFFFF

fixed contact form

Border

Add ’39px’ border radius to each one of the corners next.

fixed contact form

Box Shadow

And complete the row settings by adding a subtle box shadow.

  • Box Shadow Blur Strength: 80px

fixed contact form

Add Contact Form

Elements

The only module we need in this row is a Contact Form Module. Once you’ve added the module, disable the captcha in the elements settings.

  • Show Captcha: No

fixed contact form

Fields

Move on to the design tab and change the fields background color in the fields settings.

  • Fields Background Color: rgba(0,126,255,0.13)

fixed contact form

Button

Continue by styling the button.

  • Use Custom Styles for Button: Yes
  • Button Text Size: 16px
  • Button Text Color: #FFFFFF
  • Button Background Color: #ff5f24
  • Button Border Width: 2px
  • Button Border Color: rgba(0,0,0,0)
  • Button Border Radius: 0px
  • Button Font: Karla
  • Button Font Weight: Bold
  • Button Top Padding: 14px
  • Button Bottom Padding: 14px
  • Button Left Padding: 20px
  • Button Right Padding: 20px

Spacing

And add some custom padding values.

  • Top Padding: 30px
  • Bottom Padding: 30px
  • Left Padding: 40px
  • Right Padding: 40px

Add Code Module

Insert JQuery Code

Once you’ve completed the Contact Form Module, it’s time to make the click function work! Add a Code Module to the second row in the section and insert the following lines of JQuery code between script tags as you can see in the print screen below:

jQuery(function($){
$(".contact-open").click(function() {
 $('.section-open').toggleClass('section-open-active');
});
});

Change Section Settings

Height

Continue by opening the section settings. Change the height across different screen sizes.

  • Height: 190px (Desktop), 140px (Tablet), 125px (Phone)

fixed contact form

Default Main Element

Add some custom CSS code to the main element of the section next to make it fixed to the bottom right corner.

bottom: 0;
right: 0;
position: fixed;

fixed contact form

Hover Main Element

Make sure you add the fixed position to the hover main element as well.

position: fixed;

fixed contact form

Add Custom CSS Code to Page

Open Page Settings

To complete the toggling effect, we’ll need to add a bit of CSS code to the page as well. Open the page settings.

fixed contact form

Add Custom CSS

Go to the advanced tab and add the following lines of CSS code:

.section-open-active {
height: auto !important;
}

fixed contact form

Now that we’ve gone through all the steps, let’s take a final look at the outcome across different screen sizes.

  1. Hi I followed the blog and created fixed contact form.But now the form is not functioning. i.e it’s not sending information to email id. Is there any code conflict. I am confused what to do now.There is another contact form on page but it is functioning properly.

  2. Wow! this is really simple than I thought.
    I have a web development agency and many of my customers asked me for this feature. I kept denying they saying it is tough, require more coding blah…blah….blah…
    Now I am excited to use this feature in my clients websites.
    Thank you!

  3. A very versatile and useful ‘how to’ – thanks

    • You’re very welcome, Paul! 🙂

  4. Great tutorial!

    As an extra, I would love to see that on opening the contact form, the envelope-icon will change to an X-icon to show the user it can close the contact form by pressing that blurb. Or having a script that clicking outside the hovering contact form will close it.

    • Thanks for the suggestion, Michiel! I might take you up on that idea in a future tutorial.

  5. Great job. Works awesome.

    1 critic, once clicked it’s always open. Might need a function to close it when clicked out side the box, or if a x is placed in a corner.

    • Happy you like it, Paully! The blurb icon serves as a trigger that goes both ways, if the contact form is open and your visitor clicks on the icon again, it’ll close. But the ideas you suggested make sense, might take you up on them in a future tutorial!

      • Hi, thanks for the great tutorial!

        I have implemented this on this staging domain: https://gat.createdbycarla.co.uk/ but as Paully mentioned, it stays open by default and the blurb disappears so it can’t then be closed. Can you tell me how I can offer users the option to close the contact form?

        Many thanks

  6. A great little gem, very adaptable for other things – thanks.

    Btw – copy paste the code in this tutorial into a text editor and follow the screencast on ETs Facebook page. It’s actually a lot simpler and quicker than it looks here and there’s also an explanation why there isn’t a JSON file. Leave the transparent section background until near the end as you can better see what’s going on.

  7. Donjete it’s really a great option thanks for explaining in such a great way thank you so much.

    • Good to hear, you’re very welcome! 🙂

  8. That’s ok now, I made a mistake on CSS ID instead of CSS Class for the section 😉
    Thank’s

    • Yup, the CSS classes are essential for making this tutorial work! 🙂

  9. Please, can you provide JSON files?

  10. Th instructions you have provided is clear and i followed the same to create contact form for my page but facing syntax error. Do you provide up documentation for this one ?

  11. This didn’t work for me :/ I’m not sure why

    • It didn’t work for me either until I modified the page CSS.
      Under the page settings CSS use this code :

      .section-open-active {
      height: auto !important;
      }

      See if that works.

  12. Could you please provide JSON files please ?

    • Great tutorial. JSON would be awesome please. Save 20 mins. Thanks

  13. Great! Looks nice and smooth!
    Thank you!

    • Happy you like it, Joost! 🙂
