Free HTML Contact Form Template

Updated · plan facts checked against /pricing

A contact form template is a ready-made form you paste into your page and point at a backend. This one is plain HTML with 4 fields (name, email, phone, message), a hidden subject line and a spam honeypot, and it posts to one splitforms endpoint, so there is no PHP, Node.js or SMTP to set up. The first 500 submissions are free in total.

How to add it

How to add this form to your site.

To add a Free HTML Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.

Copy the HTML snippet

The form is plain HTML with no CSS framework and no build step. The one script tag (drop-off analytics) is optional; the form submits without it.

Replace the access key

Get a free key in 30 seconds. Paste it into the hidden access_key input. That's the only personalisation needed.

Upload your page

Push to Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, S3, your shared host — anywhere. The form posts to splitforms.com from any origin.

What's included

What's included.

This template ships the four fields most small-business sites need and nothing else: full name, email, phone and message, each with a label tied to its input by for and id, and all four required. Phone is there because service businesses usually call back; delete those two lines if you only answer by email. The hidden subject input sets your notification email's subject to 'New contact form submission', so contact messages are easy to filter in your inbox, and the email field becomes the Reply-To so pressing Reply answers the visitor. The hidden botcheck checkbox is the honeypot: visitors never see it, bots tick it. The script tag at the end is optional drop-off analytics, and Free-plan code includes a small 'Powered by splitforms' line that paid plans can remove. If you've been pasting PHP into 2009 tutorials, this is the modern replacement.

  • Basic contact form — 4 ready-made fields
  • HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
  • One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and spam scoring, no CAPTCHA

Where submissions go

Where submissions go.

Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

  • Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox
  • Honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter bots, no CAPTCHA friction
  • Live dashboard, CSV export, and signed webhooks on paid plans

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Where can submissions go besides email?

On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

View all FAQs
Why not just use PHP mail()?

PHP mail() routes through your server's IP. Most cheap shared hosts have IP reputations that send your form straight to spam, get blocked by Gmail's policy filters, or fail silently. SplitForms saves accepted submissions before attempting owner notification email; delivery time and inbox placement depend on the provider and recipient settings.

Do I need any JavaScript?

No. The form is plain HTML — it submits via a normal POST. We add a hidden honeypot field for spam protection. JavaScript is optional if you want AJAX-style 'no page reload' behaviour.

How do I prevent spam without CAPTCHA?

Every form ships with a hidden honeypot input. Bots fill it; humans never see it. Triggered submissions are silently dropped. We also run rule-based content scoring on every submission and quarantine likely spam to a Spam tab you can review. No CAPTCHA, no friction for real visitors.

Can I customise the email subject?

Yes — add a hidden input named 'subject' with whatever value you want. Set 'replyto' to the user's email address so hitting reply in your inbox goes straight to them.
