Working contact form
Example: A bistro owner sends a test message through her own contact form each quarter, and when nothing lands in the inbox within five minutes she swaps in a new form rather than keep losing private-event inquiries in silence.
A form where a visitor can type a question or an inquiry and actually get a response. "Working" is the important word — the form sends, the email arrives in an inbox someone checks, and a human replies.
Why it matters
Broken contact forms are everywhere, and every one is silently costing someone business. Test your own by sending yourself a message once a quarter. If nothing lands in five minutes in an inbox you actually check, replace it.
