Please help! ... Is it possible to transfer a wordpress form/pluggin to my website I have created in sublime text???

Hi,

I am new to web design and even newer to Wordpress. I have designed a website in sublime text for my restaurant. I would like to have a "book table" form or pluggin on one of the pages. Is it possible to find an appropriate pluggin on Wordpress and then copy and paste this to my webpage ???

I have just locally installed wordpress to my mac!

Any help or a step by step guide would be much appreciated !!

Dan

If you want to use a plugin, go to the WP dashboard > Plugins. Then search for a Form plugin, such as Ninja forms (http://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms/).

Then, once you create a form you can insert it into your page (WP dashboard > Pages) using the short code the form created.

No this would not work. Also it is much easier use a plugin so that your form is manageable and easy to edit without having to go into the code.
