Additional Information
As you can see, the design options for styling your form are limitless, only limited by your imagination. We didn't have the web space to show all available combinations.
Some additional options can be achieved by changing some of the standard Joomla settings, like hiding the module name, or choosing to show the module in HTML5 (a new feature of Joomla 3.0) As shown above, on the left is what a Joomla 3.0 module position looks like in the default theme. On the right, we changed the module style from 'Inherited' to 'HTML5'
