How to Build a Frontend-Only Website with Lumo Contact Forms (No Server Required)

Modern sites are often pure frontend: HTML, Astro, Hugo, or a Next.js static export on Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages. You get speed and low cost—but the moment you need a contact form, tutorials push you toward serverless functions, third-party APIs, or a full CMS. LumoPages gives you a simpler path: keep the site static and let a Lumo handle every form interaction.

Why this workflow works today

Static hosting excels at performance and security (no server to patch). The gap is always dynamic input: contact requests, demo bookings, newsletter signups. LumoPages closes that gap by hosting the form runtime, validation, spam-conscious structure, and response storage. You paste an embed snippet or link out—no environment variables, no database, no Lambda bill.

Updates to fields or copy happen in LumoPages and reflect on the embedded form automatically after you save—no redeploy of the static site for copy tweaks.

What you'll need

• A static site or site builder that allows custom HTML embeds (or link buttons)
• A LumoPages account (free tier supports real projects)
• Clear goals for each form: general contact vs qualified lead vs support
• Your domain's contact page URL where the embed will live

Step-by-step: build the Lumo

Stage 1 — Context: Headline ("Get in touch"), short paragraph on response time, optional image block with your team or office.

Stage 2 — Details: Name, email, company (optional), subject dropdown (Sales / Support / Partnership), message (textarea). Add a Phone block only if you truly call back—extra fields reduce completion.

Stage 3 — Confirmation: Thank-you content block; set notification email in project settings so submissions hit your inbox immediately.

Brand the Lumo to match your site: typography, primary color, logo header block. Use multi-stage layout so mobile users see one focused screen at a time instead of a long scrolling form.

Publish and copy the embed code from LumoPages sharing options (see Help: Embedding Your Lumo on a Website).

Connect it to your stack

Embed: On your contact page, switch to HTML/code view and paste the iframe or script embed where the form should appear. Test on mobile—Lumos are responsive by default.

Direct link: For minimal sites, use a "Contact" nav item linking to the Lumo's public URL (opens in same tab or new tab per your UX choice).

Multiple forms: Create separate Lumos for "Book a demo" vs "General inquiry" so Inbox and exports stay segmented without backend routing logic.

Examples that work well: Astro + Netlify, plain HTML on S3, Webflow marketing site with Lumo embed in a dedicated section.

Manage responses without a backend

All submissions land in LumoPages Inbox with timestamps and readable field layout. Mark items Resolved when replied. Export to Google Sheets or CSV for weekly sales review. No server logs to monitor, no form endpoint to secure.

If you later add a CRM, use export or your automation tool's CSV import—still no need to host form processing on your static stack.
