Contact Form Without Laravel

Why Laravel is unnecessary for many contact forms

Laravel is a strong application framework. A simple marketing contact form does not need controllers, validation classes, and mailables.

• Standing up Laravel just for contact forms adds hosting and deploy overhead.
• PHP runtime is unavailable on many static and Jamstack hosts.
• Mail configuration and spam filtering become ongoing maintenance.
• Frontend-led brochure sites rarely need a full MVC stack for enquiries.

How Formgrid replaces Laravel contact controllers

Formgrid is the hosted form backend. Your public site can stay static HTML while submissions still become organized leads.

Replace a Laravel contact form in four steps

Create a Formgrid form, point your HTML action at it, remove Laravel contact code if unused, and manage leads.

1. 1

   Create a form

   Create a Formgrid form and copy the endpoint URL.

2. 2

   Point the action

   Set your HTML form to post to Formgrid.

3. 3

   Ship static HTML

   Deploy the marketing site without PHP for form handling.

4. 4

   Manage leads

   Use email alerts, pipeline statuses, and reminders.

Features for static site forms

Formgrid goes beyond inbox forwarding so marketing sites and developer portfolios can manage real enquiries.

Example integration

Point a standard HTML form at your Formgrid endpoint. Field names map directly to the submission dashboard.

<form action="https://formgrid.dev/api/f/your-form-id" method="POST">
  <label>
    Name
    <input type="text" name="name" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Email
    <input type="email" name="email" required />
  </label>
  <label>
    Message
    <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  </label>
  <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

Replace your-form-id with your form ID from the Formgrid dashboard.
