fix contact form #1

Closed thibautjombart closed 5 years ago

Current contact form does not work. Would be nice to fix it, but beyond my skills. @amygimma could you take a look? :)

@thibautjombart - since Hugo is a static site builder, it doesn't support contact forms out of the box.

I think the simplest solution will be to use formspree which can handle up to 1000 messages for $12/month with some protection against spammers/bots and options for redirecting or other user feedback. The forms will all take on the css styling of the Hugo site.

We could also use formspree and host on heroku which will direct the messages to an email, but this won't come with the benefits of the paid version of formspree and might have some performance issues (free, $7, $25/month options).

Which is the best option? also we will need to either set up an email or have the messages come through to one of our emails - how do you want that to work?

I think we can do without a form then. We could probably expense this but that is going to be more hassle than is worth it. Could you try to remove the form from the page and maybe PR or push the change?

ps: thanks for looking into this! :)

amygimma commented 5 years ago

no prob, will do!

amygimma commented 5 years ago

just realized we're hosting on netflify so there's another option if we decide to add it - still about $19/month

thibautjombart commented 5 years ago

Yep, but still best spend nothing on this :)
