You can also just create a new page by clicking on the Add New button on the Pages section. In the edit field of the page, paste your code. It should look similar to this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your website uses a page builder plugin, then select a HTML or Text element to paste your shortcode into.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Update or publish your page and visit your page on the front-end to see your form. It\u2019s important to test your form before making it live to the public.
