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

Labeling your form Submit button

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. Weebly 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?

In Weebly, open the Form options window, go to the Button options, and change the text.

Weebly - change form button text

In Weebly, change the form's Button text in the Form Options window

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.
