How to Add a Contact Form to a Static HTML Website Without a Backend

2026年9月1日2 次浏览来源:Dev.to阅读原文

Building a static website with HTML is simple.

But adding a contact form can be a little tricky because you need somewhere to send and process the form submissions.

The good news: you don't always need to build your own backend.

Simple HTML Form Send The important parts are: action — where the form data is sent method="POST" — sends the form data name — identifies each submitted field Instead of creating an Express, PHP, or other backend just for your form, you can use a hosted form endpoint.

For example, formboost lets you connect your existing HTML form and receive submissions without building a backend.

This works well for: Portfolio websites Landing pages Contact forms Feedback forms Waitlists Small business websites If you already have an HTML form, you may only need to change the action and add the correct name attributes.

Keep your website static.

Let the form service handle the submissions.
