Copy the multi-step template
It's one HTML file — every step is a div, only one is visible at a time. The Next button validates the current step before advancing.
Form template · Feedback
Multi-step forms get higher completion rates than long single-page forms. This is the pattern Typeform built a $1B company on, in 200 lines of vanilla code.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Multi-Step Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Multi-Step Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
To add a Multi-Step 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.
It's one HTML file — every step is a div, only one is visible at a time. The Next button validates the current step before advancing.
Each step is a labelled <div class="step"> with one question. Add as many as you want — the progress bar updates automatically based on count.
The Submit button on the last step does a POST to splitforms with all collected answers. Your inbox receives one email with the full structured response.
What's included
Typeform charges $25/month for the question-at-a-time pattern. The pattern itself is just CSS (show one section at a time) plus a tiny step counter. We give you the working code for free — keyboard navigation, progress bar, validation per step, smooth transitions. The form still posts to splitforms in one request when the last step submits.

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 spam classifier 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.

Testimonials
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
It's free, it's yours, you own the code, and it works without their subdomain. Typeform's hosted UX has nice extras (logic jumps, calculator fields). For 80% of multi-step contact / qualification forms, this is enough.
The example is linear, but the structure is plain JS — adding 'if user picked X, jump to step 4' is one if-statement in the next-button handler. We have a recipe in the docs.
Already wired. Each text input listens for Enter and triggers the next step. Buttons trigger on click. Keyboard-first users have no friction.
Not really — search engines index the page's content (questions, headings, hero copy), not the interaction state. The questions are all in the HTML; only their visibility is toggled.
