# Why can’t I delete the contact page of my SimDif website?

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: The permanence and functionality of the mandatory contact page in SimDif.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Why the contact page is mandatory

In the SimDif website builder, the contact page cannot be erased because it serves several essential structural and security functions:

* **Automated Navigation**: When visitors view a site on a desktop browser, SimDif automatically displays a "contact us" button in the top bar as they scroll down. This button is hard-wired to link directly to the contact page.
* **Email Privacy and Security**: Displaying a raw email address on a website increases the risk of spam. A primary function of the contact page and its contact form is to allow visitors to communicate with the site owner while keeping the owner's email address hidden.
* **Universal Accessibility**: A contact form ensures that visitors can send a message even if the device they are using to browse the site does not have their email software configured.
* **Integration of Contact Blocks**: The contact page allows for the inclusion of various content blocks, such as postal addresses, Google Maps embeds (Map block), phone numbers, and buttons for communication apps like WhatsApp or Messenger (available as standard blocks).
* **Customization and Naming**: While the page itself cannot be deleted, it can be renamed to "Get in touch," "Reach Out," or any title preferred by the user.
* **Logical Site Structure**: Following SimDif’s design philosophy of prioritizing visitor usability, the best position for the contact page in the navigation menu (tabs) is last, as this is where most users instinctively look for contact information.
* **Footer Navigation**: If a link is included in the site footer, it is recommended to direct it to the contact page.
