Whenever you use a Form (or a page created using the Form Wizard), you need to select PHP as the manner in which it will be published, in order for the scripted Form to function (since it is written in PHP) ... this is done in Page Properties and/or via VIEW > PAGE PROPERTIES > FILE EXTENSION
If using the Wizard, this is usually done automatically for you, but it is always good to double-check, and to be totally aware of how things work .... empowering, as this knowledge comes in handy, as seen below.
You do not need to deal with configuring page extensions, as these are automatically created for you during the page Publishing process.
However, you will need to know when the extensions should be differentiated, and as mentioned above, pages with Forms on them are indeed PHP .... your link to the page will look like http://www.YourSite.com/contact.php ... and you will create your "Success" page normally, and publish it normally ... and the link to that page will look like any other Blue Voda created page > http://www/YourSite.com/success.html

PS: There are no such things as "sub-pages" ... each is a page of the website, and the only differentation is between the single required "index" page and the remainder of interior pages!
