Web Standard: Thank You Page

Definition

A page that users get when they submit a form that thanks them for their input or request.

Content Requirements

For every form, there should be a follow-up page thanking the reader for submitting the information and offering links to continue browsing.
At a minimum, in the main body of the page, offer a link to the area’s home page.
In Drupal WebCMS, this page is automatically created with the Contact Us Form. You can modify if needed.

Examples

The Thank You page generated after submitting a comment to the New Bedford Harbor site in Drupal Web CMS. It links back to the Contact Us form.
