Paste the widget HTML once
It's a self-contained block — anchor button, overlay, modal card, and a tiny script. Drop it into your site's footer template so every page has it.
Form template · Basic contact form
A popup contact widget that floats in the corner of your site, opens a centred modal, and closes on Escape. Zero dependencies — vanilla JS, ~80 lines.
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 Popup Contact 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 Popup Contact 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 Popup 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.
It's a self-contained block — anchor button, overlay, modal card, and a tiny script. Drop it into your site's footer template so every page has it.
One line — replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY in the form's hidden input. That's the only personalisation.
The trigger is a regular button — change the icon, label, or position with CSS. The modal styling is yours to fork. We give you a working starting point.
What's included
Putting a contact form on every page hurts conversion — it's noise. Putting a single 'Contact us' button in the corner of every page that opens a modal is the pattern Intercom popularised. You don't need Intercom's $99/month for it. The widget is 80 lines of HTML, CSS, and JS, and the form posts to the same splitforms endpoint you'd use anywhere else.

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
The CSS in the example is vanilla but you can rewrite it in Tailwind — the structure (trigger button + overlay div + modal div) is what matters. We ship a Tailwind variant inside the dashboard once you sign up.
The 'open' trigger is an event listener on a button with id='lf-open' — duplicate that ID on any other button (header, footer, in-content link) and clicking it opens the same modal.
Yes — clicking the overlay outside the card closes it. Pressing Escape also closes. Both are accessibility wins; both are wired up in the example script.
Yes. The modal scales to viewport width on small screens and the trigger button stays in the bottom-right corner where it doesn't block content.
