Contact form HTML template

The contact form 90% of sites need: name, email, subject, message. Both versions below are fully accessible and validate out of the box.

The code

<form class="lf-form" action="/api/contact" method="POST">
  <div class="field">
    <label for="f-name">Your name *</label>
    <input id="f-name" name="name" type="text" placeholder="Jane Doe" required />
  </div>
  <div class="field">
    <label for="f-email">Email address *</label>
    <input id="f-email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="you@example.com" autocomplete="email" required />
  </div>
  <div class="field">
    <label for="f-subject">Subject *</label>
    <input id="f-subject" name="subject" type="text" placeholder="How can we help?" required />
  </div>
  <div class="field">
    <label for="f-message">Message *</label>
    <textarea id="f-message" name="message" rows="5" placeholder="Tell us what's on your mind…" required></textarea>
  </div>

Frequently asked questions

How do I receive contact form submissions in my email?

You need a backend endpoint or a forwarding service. The fastest path: replace the form with a LemForms embed — submissions land in your inbox immediately, with spam filtering and reply-to set automatically.

How do I stop spam on a contact form?

Add a honeypot field (a hidden input that bots fill but humans don't), then drop submissions where it's populated. Pair with rate-limiting. LemForms ships hCaptcha and honeypot protection out of the box.

How do I add a file attachment to this contact form?

Add enctype="multipart/form-data" to the <form> and an <input type="file" name="attachment">. You'll also need server-side handling for the upload.
