Messages framework name error

[Zachary Sohovich]

I'm attempting to add a success or error message to a form. As far as I can see, I've added everything correctly. But, when I try to submit the form with success or with error I get a 'NameError at /contact/' -> 'name message not defined'. Note that it says name message (not plural) not defined. Even though I only call messages. Here is my code 

# views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib import messages
from .models import Employee
from .forms import EmailForm
from django.core.mail import send_mail
from django.template import Context
from django.template.loader import get_template

# Create your views here.

def home(request):
    return render(request, 'index.html')

def team(request):
    members = Employee.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'team.html', {'members':members})

def contact(request):
    form_class = EmailForm
    # forgive the unused code, will clean up later
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = EmailForm(data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            contact_name = request.POST.get('contact_name', '')
            contact_email = request.POST.get('contact_email', '')
            form_content = request.POST.get('content', '')
            template = get_template('contact_template.txt')
            context = Context({'contact_name':contact_name,'contact_email':contact_email,'form_content':form_content,})
            content = template.render(context)
            send_mail('Website Email from ' + contact_name,content,contact_email, ['crowdc...@sneakycr0w.com'], fail_silently=False)
            messages.success(request,'Email was successful!')
        else:
            messages.error = messages.error(request, 'Fix the error')
    return render(request, 'contact.html', {'form': form_class, })

So, I woke up this morning and went to go get the trace for you. Turned off my DEBUG setting in the settings.py and ran into some internal server errors. Fixed those, and then the messages error I was getting fixed itself, I guess. It's working now, randomly. Don't know what was causing it, guess it could've been my debug.
