  Hello, is there any way I can have the reader’s default email client open to write a message when they click on my email on my contact page?

  Thank you

  Your contact page is not a contact page like what teck is referring to above. You have an email address on the page (which is REALLY hard to read, BTW) but the email link isn’t live. Is is a graphic? If so, you need to link the graphic to an email address in order to have it open in an email client.

  However, if you do a live email link, be aware that it will be a spam catcher. Try using an email encoder (I use this one http://www.coderlab.us/playground/email_encoder.php) when coding the link.

  Finally, if you do decide to use the contact form, turn off comments on the page. It makes it less confusing.
