Custom theme Super Simple Contact Form

Hi guys kinda of a simple question (I hope) Trying to get a Super Simple Contact Form working with my wordpress theme.

Adding [contact] to the code just displays [contact] on the page.

Is there any 'special code' to make this work?

Thanks for any help here guys.
