There is no "official" contact form. A form is a form is form. HTML (and by extension any language that generates HTML as output) has "forms". A form could be for "contact" or "order" or "chat" or anything else. A form can produce output on the same page (via AJAX or similar) or a new page, and the output can itself include a form (related - e.g., "part 2 of 2") or separate. But in the end, everything is simply "forms". There may be *interface design* or *user interaction* terminology for these types of things. But from a pure software development or "technology" standpoint, they are just "forms".
