How to implement forms in static sites

via kinsta.com => original post link

Websites vary in design, purpose, and complexity but are generally static or dynamic. Static sites are pre-rendered and serve the same content to all visitors. Their simple structure means they’re typically easy to manage and have fast loading times. On the other hand, dynamic sites generate content on the fly using server-side programming languages.

Static websites lack native support for interactive elements like forms since they require server-side processing functionality, such as data storage. But this isn’t ideal: forms are a communication channel with your users. They can help you gather valuable feedback through suggestions or queries so you can improve the user experience by tailoring content.

This guide walks you through the steps of creating a form for your static site, adding a form handling service, and deploying your site with the help of Kinsta’s Static Site Hosting service.
