So I am making a website for my dad and his company and he asked for it to atleast have a basic contact form. Well I have not a clue how to do that and I was hoping you guys could help me.
Remember, just a simple one.
It doesnt have to be fancy or anything.
Thanks In advance!

Do you have any web design/development experience ? if you are going to design and program it from scratch you are going to need to learn HTML and CSS and for everything else you will need javascript and probably PHP.
You could use an easier option and build the site using something like a website that allows you to build websites. but if you are looking to build it from the ground up by yourself you will need to learn those 3 web scripting languages

Never use HTML and/or Javascript to send an email. Both are client-side languages and can easily be manipulated by users. Rely on HTML only and you will risk people using your website to spam you or other people on your behalf.
Use HTML and CSS to create a basic form, and submit the input data to a PHP script. Let PHP handle the validation, filtering and sending of the email. No need to reinvent the wheel either; search Google for a PHP email script and you'll find loads.
