If you want to embed this on your website, and are using Showit, SquareSpace, Wix, WordPress, or another page builder, you will need to put this code in a "code block" or "custom HTML embed". The form is responsive, so it will adjust its size automatically, but you may need to change its width & height depending on where it's placed on your website.
We recommend that you place this form on your contact page, at the bottom of most pages on your site, or on any other pages you think your clients will spend a lot of time on. You can also put your contact form in the footer of your website in addition to these other spots-make it easy for those clients to contact you!
