So as it turns out we already get every thing set up for creating success and error messages. If you don't have it set up on your machine you must first learn how to [make a contact form](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/making-websites-with-october-cms-part-18-creating-contact-form) and then learn how to [validate it](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/making-websites-october-cms-part-25-new-ajax-form-validation). 

If you got all of that set up then we just need to add a bit of styling and JavaScript magic to make all this work. As you will see it is very easy.

In this episode of Making websites with October CMS I'm going to show you how to create success and error messages for your contact form.

In this episode we are going to do pretty much the same thing, but instead of sending emails to us, or our users we are going to take the data from our form and save it directly to our database.

I'm also going to show you how to use `Flash` messages to give feedback to your users.
