   • Focus on the arrangement of inputs, labels, submit button, and additional design elements.
4. Set Up Your Design File:
   • Open your preferred design tool (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) and prepare your workspace for designing the contact form.
5. Design the Contact Form:
   • Based on your sketches, design the form, ensuring it is visually appealing and easy to use.
