Adding a Contact Form to My Portfolio

Adding a Contact Form to My Portfolio

Since my portfolio is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages, I can’t use a traditional contact form that relies on a backend server. Static sites don’t support server-side processing, meaning forms can’t handle submissions on their own.

To work around this, I used an external provider to embed a contact form on the site. Initially, I picked a service that seemed promising, but I overlooked its submission limit—it was far too low for practical use. After some searching, I found a better provider that allows up to 100 submissions per month, which is reasonable for a portfolio site.

Now, visitors can easily reach out without needing to hunt for an email address. If you’re considering adding a form to your own static site, just make sure to check the limits before committing to a service!
