While I was redesigning my personal website vatweb.fr, I really didn’t want to have a server side involved just to send a basic contact form…
After a bit of Googling, I could not find anything better than Wufoo… Not optimal but it would have done the job.
However, as you might have seen, I change my blog theme too to use Pixyll jekyll theme. While I was looking inside the source code, I ended up finding Brace.io in the action attribute of a form. Curious, I had a look and found out that Forms Brace.io allows you really easily to send a form content to your email address. Ideal for a contact form!
You can have a demo directly on this blog as it’s using it for the contact form
And here come the really easy HTML piece of code to build a Brace form:
<form action="https://forms.brace.io/you@youremail.com" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email Address">
<textarea type="text" name="content" rows="5" placeholder="What would you like to say?"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Say Hello">
</form>Of course feel free to add some bootstrap classes and/or angularJS form validation :)
