Contact Form 7 Skins is only one of a large number of extensions that have been created for Contact Form 7 (CF7).
As one on the most popular plugins in the WordPress Plugin Repository it was perhaps inevitable that people would be willing to spend their time developing and releasing plugins that extend CF7’s natural capabilities.
Indeed the range is such that CF7 with it’s extensions can give users many of the functions available in some of the well known premium form plugins.
The advantage in sticking with CF7 is often familiarity with the CF7 form plugin. The learning curve for some of the premium form plugins can be substantial. If you only require one or two extra features, and not the huge range of extra functionality available in the premium form plugins, it can make a lot of sense to use a CF7 extension or two.
In this article, our aim is to make people aware of the various CF7 extensions, what they do and how they can be used to meet additional needs that uses may have with their website forms.
