Hi Kev,

First time poster here too, your question got my attention. The best way around is to use a remotely hosted online form builder that helps you design the form and then do the embedding on your webpage.

I recommend 123ContactForm. It's quick and easy to use, plenty of form features and nice looking page embed. You will create your form in a 3-steps wizard. At the second step (Settings) you can enter the email address you wish to receive submissions to - and even have more than one recipient.

They have plenty of guides and FAQs around form building on the website, so it's really no chance to get lost.

Hope it helps!
