Will this PHP code work?

I want to have a 'contact us' form, via PHP, but I'm afraid I only have basic knowledge. So, I have the below code, which works. When the form is submitted, the user gets a plain white page that has the statement "Your mail was sent successfully" (or "We encountered an error sending your mail"). How can I change it so the user gets a page that has the layout of my site - or at the very least, how can I add a link to go back to my site without having to hit the browser's back button? Any other modifications would be greatly appreciated - just want to keep it simple. Thanks

HTML:

<p class="form1">
<form method="post" action="contact.php">
Name: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<input name="name" type="text"><br>
Company: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<input name="company" type="text"><br>
Email: &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<input name="email" type="text"><br><br>
Message:<br>
<textarea name="message" rows="15" cols="40"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send message!">
</form>
</p>

PHP:

<?php
$to = "contact@example.com";
$subject = "Contact Us";
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $email";
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) ;
if($sent)
{print "Your mail was sent successfully"; }
else
{print "We encountered an error sending your mail"; }
?>
