The contact form available with this theme is prebuilt to use SB Forms. SB Forms is a simple form solution for adding functional forms to your theme. Since this theme is prebuilt using our SB Forms markup, all you need to do is sign up for SB Forms on Start Bootstrap.
After signing up you will need to set the domain name your form will be used on, and you will then see your
access key. Copy this and paste it into the data-sb-form-api-token='API_TOKEN'
data attribute in place of
API_TOKEN
. That's it! Your forms will be up and running!
If you aren't using SB Forms, simply delete the custom data attributes from the form, and remove the link above the
closing </body>
tag to SB Forms.
