Screenshots:

Let's register an account and create two posts

Admin receives a new post notification on email

It is the profile page

We can open the publication and leave a comment

User receives a convenient new comment email notification

Admin receives it too, even with the link on the comment admin page!

The comment needs to be reviewed and then published by admin

Here is also the the admin page to edit posts

How the published comment looks like

Contact us form is ajax modal and works at the same page

Customer support email immediately receive the application email!
