Contact form pages are built a little differently than content pages. The Contact Form tool allows you to create a form with any number of fields of several different types and have that information emailed to you when a customer fills out the form. This is a very common thing to want to do and it shouldn't require much knowledge to set up, but it often does.

The VLW Contact Form tools takes the effort out of it and lets you concentrate on defining what information you'd like to receive. When you create a contact form, rather than it being a blank slate, a template is created for you. This template contains all the major data types you'll be able to use. You can delete all these elements (after looking at how they work), modify any or all of them, or use the form as is. Below is a description of the data types and what each looks like.
