Hi Tony,

You have some different options to reach your goal. One option is to use Contour, this is a package developed by Tim from the HQ. Contour makes creating contact forms, entry forms and questionnaires.You won’t need to write a single line of code. Instead, you can create, edit and administer your form via a user interface that is a fully integrated part of Umbraco. But this package is not open source, so you need to by a lincense, for it.

You can see a video about contour here: http://umbraco.com/products/more-add-ons/contour with the Conour tou have full control over your markup, and you always have by working with Umbraco, see this video on how to use custom markup in Contour. http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2012/11/8/contour-30-features-full-control-over-form-markup and http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation/Developer/Custom-Markup/

From version Umbraco 7.2 Contour change name from Contour to Umbraco Forms, and you will get some more options to make your forms looks like you would, like make 2 columns forms and so on. Try to see this uHangout, where Per from the HQ talks about the new versions of Contour (Umbraco Forms) http://uhangout.co.uk/video/iTKb4k4UJqU

Another option could be to following this blogpost, http://carlosmartinezt.com/2014/06/umbraco-7-and-mvc-contact-form/ I must admit that I have try the code myself, here is also a video tutorial on how you could do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eovAHqxoZZU

Hope this helps, if you have other questions for this keep asking.
