You can make it easy for your Web site visitors to get in touch with you through e-mail by adding a Contact Us module to any of your Web pages. Doing so places a Web form on your site that site visitors can fill out and submit to send you e-mail messages.
You can also choose to automatically collect contact information from site visitors in Contact Manager, which is an important part of building up a database of your contacts.
Note If you partially redirected a domain name to your Office Live Small Business account: Before you can make changes to your Web site after partial redirection, you must change the primary domain to your free Office Live Small Business domain that ends in .officelive.com. For more information, see Make changes to your Web site after partial redirection.
