I wanted to add to this. What I do with forms is pretty simple. There is a web site called phpform.info which will generate your entire form for you and create the php code to process that form along with javascript validation.
All I do is copy and paste the html of the form in to any page or component then I open the php file for the form processing, set it to meta refresh to a hidden thank you page, upload the form processor to wherever your site index is and bobs your uncle problem solved.
and adding the validation js to the head of the template.
Of course I edit the html of the form for cosmetic purposes but the basic concept is there.
This is much faster than messing with trying to integrate a plugin or getting the current plugin forms to cooperate since one out of a hundred devs actually stick with any given plugin project longer than a month.
