Lead pipeline
Every submission becomes a tracked lead
New, Contacted, and Converted stages in one dashboard. See active enquiries and conversion rate without counting manually or adding a separate CRM.
Why static HTML forms need a backend
An HTML form without a working action URL looks complete but cannot deliver messages anywhere useful.
- Browsers need a destination URL for form POST requests.
- Static hosts do not run mail scripts or APIs for you.
- mailto: links are unreliable and expose your email address.
- Building Express or PHP just for one contact page is overkill.
