For Web Developers and Agencies

Add a $500 to $950 Lead System to Every Client Site You Build

Most developers drop in a basic contact form and move on. That leaves real money on the table. Every client site you build needs a way to capture, track, and follow up on leads. Not just collect emails. Formgrid gives you a complete lead system you can deliver in days. Your client gets more leads. You charge more per project. Everyone wins.

"We needed a reliable registration form that would send clean organised emails to our event manager. Formgrid solved the problem quickly and even created a custom email template tailored to our form. The level of personal support was impressive."

The Problem

Why Most Client Sites Fail to Generate Business

A Contact Form Is Not a Lead System

You build a beautiful site for your client. You drop in a contact form that sends emails. Six months later your client says the site is not generating business. The form works. The system does not. There is no pipeline, no follow up, no way to know what is working.

Building It From Scratch Takes Too Long

A proper lead system needs Google Sheets sync, a tracking pipeline, follow up reminders, UTM tracking, and spam protection. Building all of that for every client project adds days to your timeline and rarely gets prioritised. So it never gets built.

You Are Leaving Money on the Table

A contact form is a commodity. A complete lead system with pipeline, Google Sheets sync, and UTM tracking is worth $500 to $950 as a separate deliverable. Most developers never offer it because they do not have a fast way to deliver it.

This is built for you if

  1. You are a wedding, portrait, or commercial photographer taking bookings from your website
  2. You are directing clients to DM you on Instagram because your contact form is not working properly
  3. You have no way to track which enquiries you followed up on or where your best clients came from
  4. You want every enquiry in one place your team can see without logging into your email

This is not for you if you are already using a full CRM like HoneyBook or Dubsado and it is working well for you.

How Formgrid Helps

How Developers Use Formgrid for Client Projects

Step 1

You build the site as normal

Build your client's website however you prefer. Next.js, HTML, WordPress, Webflow, Framer. Formgrid works with any platform and any form on any hosting provider.

Step 2

Connect their form in one line

Point the form action attribute at a Formgrid endpoint URL. That is the only code change required. Every submission is now captured, tracked, and delivered to your client's inbox and Google Sheet automatically.

Step 3

Set up the lead pipeline

Connect their Google Sheet. Configure UTM tracking. Set up email notifications. The whole setup takes under 30 minutes and gives your client a system they can actually use to manage and follow up on every enquiry.

Step 4

Charge $500 to $950 more per project

Present this as a Lead Generation System add-on to your standard web design package. Clients who understand the value of tracking and following up on leads pay this without hesitation.

What Every Client Gets When You Use Formgrid

A premium client site on the front end and a complete lead system behind every form. Each piece below is part of what you deliver.

Premium client sites

Hero sections that look like a real agency build

Dark, high-end landing pages that make your client look established from the first scroll. This is the kind of finish clients pay for.

Contact forms

Lead pipeline

Every submission becomes a tracked lead

New, Contacted, and Converted stages in one dashboard. Your client sees active enquiries and conversion rate without counting manually.

Google Sheets sync

Every enquiry in a shared sheet automatically

Each form submission appears as a new row in Google Sheets within seconds. The whole team sees new leads in real time. No Zapier needed.

Follow up reminders

Warm leads never go cold

Your client sets a follow up date on any lead and gets an email reminder with the lead details and their notes on that date.

Email notifications

Instant inbox alerts that look professional

Every form submission triggers a clean, formatted email with the full enquiry details. No raw data dumps in the inbox.

UTM Source Tracking

Your client knows exactly which channel sent each lead. After one month they know which marketing is actually working. That insight alone is worth the setup fee.

Spam Protection

Honeypot fields and rate limiting are built in automatically. Your client never sees a spam submission without you having to configure anything.

Real Example

What Changes for Your Client

Finished agency landing page built with Next.js and Formgrid

A T-shirt printing business needed a quote request form where clients could describe their order and upload their design files. The owner used an AI tool to build the HTML form but had no way to handle the submissions or accept file uploads.

The developer pointed the form action at a Formgrid endpoint, enabled file uploads on the Premium plan, and connected a Google Sheet for the business owner's team.

Every quote request now arrives in the inbox with the design file attached. The request appears in the shared sheet immediately. Every enquiry is tracked as a lead from New to Contacted to Converted.

Total setup time: under 30 minutes. Total ongoing cost for the client: $8 per month.
