Quit telling me to "submit" on your Squarespace Contact form

If you're going to create a Contact form on your website, do me a favor, will you? Change the default button label to anything other than "Submit."

It's a pet peeve of mine. Squarespace uses the word "Submit" as the default button text and I hate that word on a form I'm filling out. I might like to send you a message but I'm certainly not going to "submit" to anything.

Use the word Send

All my clients' Contact, Scheduling, and Booking forms always use the word "Send." I never ask them if they'd prefer me to change the button text. I just go ahead and do it, sending out a little more friendliness with every form.

Or make it more creative

And if plain old "Send" is too boring for you, you can always get creative with your missive directive:

"Let's do this!"

"All set!"

"Can't wait to hear from you"

"Let it fly"

"Dispatch posthaste”

“Yes, please!”

So, where do you change the Submit button text?

All my clients' Contact, Scheduling, and Booking forms always use the word "Send." I never ask them if they'd prefer me to change the button text. I just go ahead and do it, sending out a little more friendliness with every form.

So, where do you change the Submit button text?

In Squarespace, open the form to edit it, go to the Content options, and change the button text. 

Please make the internet a happier place by not submitting to that dreary word the next time you create a Contact form. Your clients will appreciate it.
