Trouble with Contact Form

Question

I am having trouble with my contact form. When I click the Submit button a new email page comes up instead of the email going directly. Here is the link to my contact page. PVII Affinity CSS/HTML5 Template: Layout 1

I'm fairly new to code writing and I just don't know what I've done wrong. Help will be appreciated. Also, I just noticed that my contact page link doesn't look right. No idea what is going on there.

Thanks,
Tamlyn

If you're collecting names and addresses for an email list, you might want to look at MailChimp's embedded forms. The names will automatically be added to your MailChimp mailing database.

Actually, nothing is going wrong, technically. What you describe is just how an HTML <form> with the mailto: attribute works. They require an installed email client on the device in order to function (the main reason we try not to use them anymore).

It's much better to use a server side form to email script. Most hosting companies will have one available for you to use so you can avoid those problems. Doing a search in your hosting company's site should get you what you're looking for and they're usually pretty easy to set up.
