Do you really think I'll have that big of a deal with the spammers? If I do I can always change it back right?
I work for a company that often designs small $800 websites, so we have a lot of them out there. And due to the out dated scripting methods that they used for the many years prior to my working here, they left their forms wide open to spammers. And yet, a surprisingly small number of those sites have been spammed. So no, it's not a big risk. But why not spend the hour it would take to learn and deploy DD-formmailer or something similar? It's a good preventative.
Listen to Jed. He's right. I was talking about using an email address like latro said. That will guarantee you spam. Contact form spam, however, has been less common for me. I have caught some trying to go through though, and fixed it appropriately. Specifically oscommerce is not good with their contact form :p.
The top left compnay name I really have a hard time reading the company name. The white on white is not really a good idea. You either need to change the colors or move it around. Please change it.
A simple 1px stroke around the name would fix that. See how that looks.
A good rule of thumb. Never publish an email address in it's plain text goodness. There are many ways to properly obfuscate an email address. Not all of them good for usability.
A List Apart has a good article about
graceful email obfuscation. Read it.
I watched a great video about bad techniques in email obfuscation, but can't find it right now because I'm on BYU campus. Stupid byUSSR blocking youtube...
