Managing Client Form Submissions Across Websites Without a Custom Backend

Freelance developers and agencies often end up building a separate backend for every client's contact form, which quickly becomes hard to maintain. The article argues that routing submissions to the right inbox, storing past enquiries, and keeping clients' data apart is the real challenge after the frontend is done. It proposes using a hosted form backend, Formgrid, so each website posts to its own endpoint without deploying a new API. The suggested setup uses a separate project per client, a dedicated form per workflow, client-specific notifications, and end-to-end testing. The approach suits brochure sites and simple enquiry forms but may not fit complex bookings or regulated data.
