How to add a contact form to Cargo.
To add a contact form to a Cargo (cargo.site) website you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the form snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No plugin, no server, no SMTP setup — every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Open the Code tool in Cargo
In Cargo, open the page you want the form on and add the Code tool — Cargo's block for pasting raw HTML.
Paste the form HTML
Paste the form code into the Code block, replacing YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard.
Save and publish
Publish the page. Every submission is emailed to you instantly and saved to your splitforms dashboard.
Why an endpoint
Does Cargo have a built-in contact form?
No. Cargo is built for portfolios — clean HTML/CSS control for designers, photographers, and artists — not form processing. There's no server behind a Cargo site to receive and store submissions, so every contact form has to point at an external backend to work. splitforms fills that gap: a hosted endpoint that accepts any HTML form's POST, the same way it does for plain HTML sites and other static builders — a common case for portfolio sites and photographers.
Where submissions go
Where do your Cargo form submissions go?
Every Cargo form submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it ever reaches your inbox. Add a hidden redirect field to send visitors to a thank-you page, and a subject field to set the email subject line.
- 500 submissions per month, free forever
- Honeypot + IP rate limits screen bots before your inbox
- Instant email alerts on every plan, including Free
Spam-free
How do you stop spam on a Cargo contact form?
The hidden botcheck field in the snippet is a honeypot that traps simple bots — leave it empty and hidden, and real visitors never see it. splitforms also screens every Cargo submission server-side, so the noise never reaches you.
- Hidden botcheck honeypot traps simple bots
- Server-side content heuristics + IP rate limiting (6/min)
- Optional reCAPTCHA v2 for an extra layer

Testimonials
Loved by developers shipping at every scale.
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
Cargo contact form questions.
View all FAQsCan I add a contact form to Cargo?
Yes. Cargo supports custom HTML via its Code tool. Add an HTML form that posts to a hosted form backend like splitforms, and you're collecting submissions without any plugin or external embed.
Does Cargo have a built-in form?
No. Cargo doesn't have a native form backend — there's no server behind a Cargo site to receive submissions. You need a hosted form backend like splitforms to receive, store, and email you Cargo form submissions.
How much does it cost to add a form to Cargo?
It's free. The splitforms Free plan includes 500 submissions per month, unlimited forms, email notifications, spam filtering, and the dashboard — no credit card required. If you outgrow 500/month, Pro is $5/month for 5,000 submissions with CSV/XML/PDF exports and webhooks.

Yes. Email notifications are free on every plan, including Free — you don't need to upgrade to be notified when a lead comes in.
How do I stop spam on my Cargo contact form?
The hidden botcheck field in the code above is a honeypot that traps simple bots — leave it empty and hidden, and real visitors never see it. splitforms also applies server-side content heuristics and rate-limits abuse automatically (6 submissions per minute per IP), with optional reCAPTCHA v2 if you want an extra layer.
