Copy-paste HTML

Backend-ready form code.

Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with your FormsFort public access key, then deploy the form on your site.

  <input type="hidden" name="access_key" value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
  <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="New personal contact message" />

  <label for="name">Name</label>
  <input type="text" id="name" name="name" autocomplete="name" required />

  <input type="email" id="email" name="email" autocomplete="email" required />

  <label for="topic">Topic</label>
  <input type="text" id="topic" name="topic" placeholder="Project, press, consulting..." />

  <label for="message">Message</label>
  <textarea id="message" name="message" rows="6" maxlength="3000" required></textarea>

Production notes

Make it reliable before launch

  • Submit from the real production domain and confirm delivery logs show the expected origin.
  • Keep hidden fields for routing and context, not secrets. Public access keys are identifiers.
  • Use allowed domains, honeypots, rate limits, and optional CAPTCHA for public forms.
  • Test uploads, webhook payloads, spreadsheet rows, and autoresponder copy before publishing.

FAQ

Common questions

Can this work on a static portfolio?

Yes. The browser posts directly to FormsFort, so GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, Astro, and plain HTML sites do not need server code.
