Building a modern website is faster than ever. Frameworks like Astro, Next.js, and Remix let us ship beautiful frontends in record time.
But then comes the “Contact” page.
Suddenly, you’re faced with a choice: setup a Node/Express server, manage a database, handle SMTP configurations, and fight off the inevitable wave bot spam. All that for a simple <form>?
That’s why we built FormsReady.IO.
What is FormsReady.IO?
FormsReady is a “headless” form backend. We provide the endpoint; you provide the HTML. No servers to maintain, no PHP scripts to write, and no database schemas to manage.
The 30-Second Integration
You don’t need a library or a complex SDK. If you can write HTML, you can use FormsReady.
<form action="https://api.formsready.io/workflows/$id$" method="POST">
<label>Email Address</label>
<input type="email" name="email" required>
<label>Message</label>
<textarea name="message"></textarea>
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>When a user hits “Submit” we handle the rest:
- Data Validation: Ensuring the fields are clean.
- Spam Protection: Our AI-driven filters catch the bots before they hit your inbox.
What’s Coming Next?
