Curious about what gated content is and want to see some examples of it in use?
Gated content is a hugely impactful part of the beginning stages of the customer journey on your website, no matter how big or small your business is.
So in this post, we’ll explain exactly what this type of online content is plus show you some examples to help inspire you.
One common mistake I routinely see many new websites make is the use of generic sender domains like @gmail, @hotmail, and so on for their WordPress emails.
Imagine receiving your order confirmation email from a random email address that doesn’t even have the company’s brand name in the domain.
Not only is it bad from a branding standpoint, but it also fails to inspire trust as recipients have no way to be sure that the email is coming from a legitimate sender.
This is why setting up a professional business email address for your website is a non-negotiable in today’s world.
In this article, I’ll show you 25 real business email address examples so you can see what a professional address looks like. Then I’ll walk you through setting up your own free business email at a domain you control.
Are you not receiving email notifications from your WordPress contact forms? Unfortunately, the WordPress contact form not sending email issue is very common.
However, you can quickly fix this issue and start receiving those emails by setting up Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) on your website. This tutorial shows you exactly how to fix the WordPress contact form sending email issue.
Almost every Contact page on the web puts visitors in front of the same small decision. Fill out the form, or copy the email address into a fresh tab.
The page looks like it’s offering one path forward, but it’s quietly asking the visitor to choose between two very different ways to start a conversation.
That choice matters more in 2026 than it did when this debate first started. AI form fillers complete contact forms in seconds, spam patterns have shifted as bots get smarter, and rotating email aliases get easier.
When both options are on the page, 67.3% of people pick the email address. So which one belongs on your contact page now, and is this even a one-or-the-other question anymore?

The Paystack addon brings card, bank transfer, and mobile money payments to your forms for buyers in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya.
Buyers click submit and pay in the Paystack popup in naira, cedis, rand, or Kenyan shillings, with no new field to add to your form.
Bank transfer and mobile money payments are saved as Pending, and WPForms can hold your notification emails until Paystack confirms the payment, then completes the order on its own.
Every Paystack payment shows up in WPForms » Payments, and full refunds can be issued without leaving WordPress.
The WPForms Dashboard is a new home screen that opens the moment you click WPForms in your admin menu. Stat cards across the top total up your forms, entries, payments, views, and spam across the whole site.
An Entries widget charts activity over your chosen date range with a per-form table of entries, views, interactions, and conversion rate, and a payments widget totals everything collected once a gateway is connected.
With the Geolocation addon active, Top Locations ranks the countries your visitors come from, and a Suggested Next Steps panel points to features worth turning on.
Nothing to install, as it comes with every plan, including Lite!
Every form now has its own built-in QR code generator, with nothing extra to install or buy.
Open a form’s General settings, choose the page the form lives on or paste its URL, and click Generate QR Code to copy it or download it as a PNG or a print-ready SVG.
Put it on menus, packaging, event badges, or business cards, and every scan opens your form instead of a page that only hands people something to read.
Included with every plan, including Lite; Pro and Elite plans can keep, remove, or replace the WPForms logo in the center with their own.
The Surveys & Polls addon gains a Ranking field!
Instead of scoring each option separately, respondents drag options (or tap arrow buttons on a phone) into the order they prefer, so one option always has to come first.
WPForms tallies every response into a “Times at #1” count and an average rank for each option, with a chart that makes the winner obvious.
Lay options out as a vertical list or a grid, and use Image Choices or Icon Choices in place of plain text labels.
The Mercado Pago addon brings on-page card payments built for Latin America to your forms.
Buyers enter their card details into secure, Mercado Pago-hosted fields inside the form, choose an installment plan, and pay in ARS, BRL, CLP, COP, MXN, PEN, or UYU without leaving your page.
An approved charge fires your confirmation, notifications, and integrations at the moment money actually moves, and full or partial refunds can be issued from WPForms » Payments.
WPForms takes no transaction fee, and it works with Quantities, Coupons, multi-page forms, Conversational Forms, Lead Forms, and Form Pages.
