This is using the Cardinal theme as an example. You will need to use an ftp program like Filezilla.
In your site's directory:
yourdomain.com/theme/Cardinal/template.php Download this file, rename it to contact-form.php or something, and open it in something like notepad++(notepad is fine but this is what i prefer)
Code:
<?php if(!defined('IN_GS')){ die('you cannot load this page directly.'); }

See this block of code here?
<div id="content">
<h1><?php get_page_title(); ?></h1>
<div id="page-content">
<div class="page-text">
#Putting this piece of code above the content one will probably put the contact form above the WYSIWYG editor and putting it below, well that's obvious.
<?php if (function_exists('sc_show')) { sc_show(); } ?>
#basically this little piece of code outputs anything you put into the WYSIWYG editor.
<?php get_page_content(); ?>
<p class="page-meta">Published on <span><?php get_page_date('F jS, Y'); ?></span></p>
</div>
Now, you have a separate file called contact-form.php and should still have that template.php file. Upload this
contact-form.php to the same directory you downloaded the template.php file.

Where you see the black box, this drop down menu should also have an option "contact-form" or whatever you named the php file. This is the same way you would create a custom page layout in wordpress if you wanted to go beyond the basic WYSIWYG editor.
