The contact form is an important element to include on your website if you want to capture emails and convert your visitors into customers. The Divi Contact Form Module can be easily customized to create attractive and captivating contact forms for all types of websites. The module comes with two width options that can be applied to each field in the form: inline or full-width. In this tutorial, we will present four unique layout possibilities for your Divi contact form using inline and full-width fields.
Let’s get started!

What You Need to Get Started
Before we begin, install and activate the Divi Theme and make sure you have the latest version of Divi on your website.
Now, you are ready to start!
4 Layout Possibilities for Your Divi Contact Form Using Inline & Fullwidth Fields
Select the Premade Layout
Each of the 4 designs are modified from the Shoe Repair Contact Page layout from the Shoe Repair Layout Pack, which you can find in the Divi library.
Add a new page to your website and give it a title, then select the option to Use Divi Builder.
We will use a premade layout from the Divi library for this example, so select Browse Layouts.
Search for and select the Shoe Repair Contact Page layout.
Select Use This Layout to add the layout to your page.
Now we are ready to build our designs.
First Layout
First, move the row containing the contact form module to the section above, right below the row with the blurb modules. Then you can delete the remaining empty section.
Open the row settings and add padding to the left and right,
- Padding-left: 15%
- Padding-right: 15%
Select the responsive options and set the mobile padding.
- Padding-left: 5%
- Padding-right: 5%
Modifying the Contact Form Layout with Inline and Fullwidth Fields
For this layout, we will create two separate fields for first name and last name. Open the contact form module settings and change the field ID and Title for the Name field to First Name.
Add a new field below the First Name field. Set the field ID and Title to Last Name.
In the last name field settings, open the Layout settings and set Make Fullwidth to No.
