After looking at it all you have is the visual side of it, there is no coding for it.

You could write one yourself, however the internet is a very crazy crazy place and people can find little holes in your script if your just starting out coding.

You could find a email script online and have to change a couple of bits to fit your form.
Get a complete script and form from the internet. No changes required, it would not fit your theme.

What script are you using for your website at the moment?

This is the best place to start learning

If you can't wait you could try your luck in The Market Place you could get somebody to do the coding/test and tweaking for you. You do however need credits, yes credits at the moment with changes/upgrades/data centre moves going on the forum has be stripped down so there aren't credits. I know they will come back and that new users start with 200 credits - well they did anyway.

thanks Jason i have started using the w3schools site but i think the market place must be the only thread i haven't clicked on yet on this site lol
so if i was to get a complete script from the internet not that i will at this stage but i will have a look around and learn some more first do i just edit my contact page with the html editor and write it into there ? i know it wont just be as simple as that but am i on the right line of thought

Your on the right sort of lines.

Your contact page - It would go something like this

HTML: 
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact Me</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">toontech-suppport.co.cc</div>
.....Nav bar etc
Then your php comes into it

if($_POST['submitted'] == 'TRUE')
{
//this means that the user has click send mail so we need to send it
//your would need error check etc etc..
}
else - keyword
{
//we display the form for the user to fill it out and click send
}

</body>
</html>

Thats the short story.
