An enquiry form (UK spelling) or inquiry form (US spelling) is the contact form for service businesses. It captures the qualifying info you need before the first sales call: what service the prospect wants, what they can spend, when they want to start. Forms that ask these questions up-front filter out bad-fit leads at the form level instead of wasting a discovery call on them.

Use `<select>` elements for budget and timeline, not free-text. Predefined options force the prospect to pick from your bands, which (a) qualifies them against your minimum, (b) makes dashboard filtering trivial, (c) avoids the 'we don't have a budget' answer that always means 'we don't have one and won't share if we did'.

Customize the service options to match your offerings — web design, SEO, consulting, whatever lines you sell. The 'Other' option captures unusual requests without forcing you to predict them. Free-text in the project field captures everything the select fields don't.

The form POSTs to splitforms. Pipe the submissions into Slack or your CRM via a webhook — high-value enquiries (large budget, immediate timeline) should ping your sales team instantly; low-value enquiries can wait for a daily digest. The splitforms dashboard supports filtering by select field values for quick triage.

Budget + timeline + service select. Qualifies leads at the form level.
