Integrating the Fergus web enquiry form into your website can be done easily by embedding it as an iFrame or providing it as a direct link. This guide will walk you through both methods, allowing your website visitors to submit enquiries directly into your Fergus Job Management account.

Option 1: Embedding the Enquiry Form as an iFrame
Embedding the enquiry form as an iFrame directly into your website allows the form to appear seamlessly within your webpage.
Obtain the Form URL:
Log in to your Fergus account.
Navigate to Settings > Enquiries.
Copy the URL of your web enquiry form.
Add the iFrame to Your Website:
Go to your website’s HTML editor or content management system (CMS).
Find the location on your webpage where you want the form to appear.
Insert the following iFrame code:
<iframe src="YOUR_FORM_URL" width="100%" height="1300" frameborder="0" style="border:0; overflow:hidden;"> </iframe>
Replace
"YOUR_FORM_URL"with the actual URL of your Fergus enquiry form.
Adjust iFrame Settings:
You can customize the width and height attributes to fit the form within your webpage layout.
Ensure the iFrame width is set to
"100%"for responsive design, so the form adjusts well across different screen sizes.
Save and Publish:
Save your changes and publish the webpage.
Visit the live webpage to confirm the form is displaying correctly and is fully functional.
Option 2: Adding the Enquiry Form as a Link
If you prefer not to embed the form directly, you can include a link to the Fergus enquiry form on your website. This method is straightforward and works well for websites with limited space.
Obtain the Form URL:
As before, log in to Fergus and copy the URL of your web enquiry form from the Web Enquiries settings.
Add the Link to Your Website:
Go to your website’s HTML editor or CMS.
Navigate to the section where you want the link to appear.
Insert the following HTML code:
<a href="YOUR_FORM_URL" target="_blank">Click here to contact us</a>
Replace
"YOUR_FORM_URL"with the actual URL of your Fergus enquiry form.
Customize the Link Text:
You can modify the link text (
Click here to submit an enquiry) to match your website’s tone and style.The
target="_blank"attribute ensures that the form opens in a new tab, keeping your website open for visitors.
Save and Publish:
Save your changes and publish the webpage.
Test the link to ensure it redirects to the Fergus enquiry form and that the form is functional.
Best Practices
Placement: Place the form or link in a prominent location on your website, such as the Contact Us page or as a call-to-action button on the homepage.
Responsive Design: Ensure that the iFrame or link is optimized for both desktop and mobile users.
