A static contact form with no backend and no JavaScript required. Visitors' messages go to Formgong, a hosted form backend. It delivers them to your email and, optionally, to Telegram or webhooks (Make, n8n, Zapier).

Works on: GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, shared hosting, or any static host.

1-minute setup

1. Click Use this template, or download index.html and thanks.html.
2. Sign up at https://formgong.com, create a form and copy its access key (fk_…).
3. In index.html, replace fk_your_access_key with your key.
4. Set _redirect to the absolute URL of your thanks.html, or delete that line to use Formgong's own thank-you page.
5. Publish. Submit the form once and the message lands in your inbox.

What's in the form

Field	Purpose
access_key	Public form key. It only lets people send messages to your form, so it's safe in HTML.
_lang	Language for Formgong's error messages, thank-you page and autoreply (en, uk, pl, tr, de, es, fr, pt, ar, he, hi, ja).
_redirect	Optional: your own thank-you page after a successful send.
_subject	Optional: the email subject.
botcheck	Honeypot. It's hidden off-screen; bots that fill it are marked as spam and never reach you.
Turnstile	Optional captcha. Uncomment the block and enable Turnstile in the form settings.
fg.js	Optional. Sets _lang from <html lang> and counts form views without cookies.

You don't need a server, PHP mail(), an SMTP password or a database.
