Serverless contact forms, and everything you can do with them.
A contact form is the front door to your site: the one place visitors turn an idea into a message. This page is about what that little form can do, why you no longer need a server to run it, and who it is for.
Beyond 'contact us'
One contact form, many jobs.
The same simple contact form quietly does a lot of work. Here are the things people actually use a serverless contact form for.
Capture leads
Turn visitors into conversations. Collect a name, an email, and a note, then follow up while interest is hot.
Take support requests
Give customers a direct line for questions and issues, routed straight to the person who can help.
Field quote & booking requests
Let people describe a project, request a quote, or ask for availability without a clunky scheduling tool.
Collect partnership pitches
Open a channel for press, partnerships, and collaboration requests that does not clutter your personal inbox.
Gather feedback
Ask visitors what they think, what is missing, or what broke, with a form that takes seconds to fill in.
Route to the right place
Send each submission to an inbox, a Slack channel, a CRM, or your own webhook, based on the form it came from.
Why serverless
A contact form shouldn't need a server.
A contact form has one job: take a message and deliver it. Traditionally that simple job dragged in a whole backend. A serverless contact form removes it entirely.
The old way
Stand up a server or a PHP script just to call mail(). Now you own uptime, patches, and security for one contact form.
Wire up SMTP credentials, fight the spam folder, and bolt on a captcha the moment bots find your contact form.
Static hosts like GitHub Pages or Netlify can't run any of it, so a simple site suddenly needs a backend just to send an email.
With SendForm
Point your contact form at a hosted endpoint. There is no server to run, scale, or keep patched, ever.
Delivery, spam scoring, and verified notifications are handled for you, with DKIM and SPF already in place.
Your serverless contact form just posts to a URL, so it works on any static host while your site stays fast.
Who it's for
Built for anyone with a static site.
If your site can serve an HTML file, it can have a real contact form. No framework or backend skills required.
Freelancers & portfolios
Add a contact form to your portfolio in minutes and never miss an inbound project.
Small businesses
Give customers a reliable way to reach you, with messages landing in the inbox you already check.
Agencies
Ship client sites with working forms and group every project under its own SendForm project.
Developers
Skip the boilerplate backend. Post a form or call the endpoint with fetch() and get clean JSON back.
No-code & site builders
Using a static site generator or a builder that lets you edit HTML? Paste one URL and you are done.
Docs & SaaS sites
Add 'contact sales' or 'talk to us' forms to docs and marketing pages without touching your app's backend.
What it looks like
Still just an HTML contact form.
No SDK, no build step. Swap the action URL for your own endpoint and your serverless contact form is live.
<form action="https://sendform.net/f/contact-9k2" method="POST"> <input name="name" placeholder="Name" required> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" required> <textarea name="message"></textarea> <button type="submit">Send message</button> </form>
