✅

You can add a placeholder attribute to your email_param field. So your forms.py would be:

from django import forms

class ContactForm(forms.Form):
    name_param        = forms.CharField()
    email_param       = forms.EmailField(widget=forms.EmailInput({'placeholder': 'test@example.com'}))
    message_param     = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
    recaptcha_param   = ReCaptchaField()

That’s just HTML

<input type="email" placeholder="This is used to contact you..." name="email"/>

Just notice that the

forms.EmailField()

does not take as argument a widget.

The way you could do that could be

models.EmailField(max_length=255,default=’you default value or example@email.com’)

That is more robust that the html solution, as give you the way to manage that on the Database
