The Problem
Portfolio and personal sites are often static, with no server to process a contact form — so many creatives resort to a plain mailto link that filters spam poorly and looks unpolished.
Formboost Solution
Point your portfolio's contact form action at a Formboost endpoint. Submissions land in your inbox instantly, with spam filtered out automatically.
Real-World Example
A freelance designer adds a Formboost contact form to their static portfolio built with plain HTML. Inquiries arrive by email within seconds, with spam automatically filtered.
Portfolio Contact Forms: the form, field by field
A portfolio enquiry form should be short enough to fill in from a phone and specific enough to qualify the project: budget and timeline fields save a round of emails. `_replyto` means you answer from your own mail client.
<form action="https://formboost.app/f/YOUR_ENDPOINT_ID" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your name" required />
<input type="email" name="_replyto" placeholder="Your email" required />
<select name="project_type">
<option value="website">Website</option>
<option value="branding">Branding</option>
<option value="other">Something else</option>
</select>
<select name="budget">
<option value="under-2k">Under $2k</option>
<option value="2k-10k">$2k–$10k</option>
<option value="10k+">$10k+</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="timeline" placeholder="When do you need it?" />
<textarea name="brief" placeholder="Tell me about the project" required></textarea>
<input type="text" name="_honey" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off" />
<button type="submit">Get in touch</button>
</form>- ✓Pair it with Telegram on the Free plan for a phone notification the moment an enquiry lands, alongside the email.
- ✓Add Auto Reply on Starter so the prospect gets an immediate 'received, I reply within two working days' — the form works on a static portfolio host with no server.
- ✓Reference files (a brief, a logo) go in as a link to Drive or Dropbox for now; file uploads are on the roadmap.
