Let's Build : A Consultancy Website - Part 30 - Coding the Services Page Form

Hi, My name is Andy Leverenz. I design, code, and am an author of things. Check out my agency called Couple of Creatives https://coupleofcreatives.com and my blog Web-Crunch https://web-crunch.com🤘🏻

======

Part 30 officially marks the end of my immediate work on the services page by tackling the form. In previous videos I mentioned utilizing Wufoo forms for this specific use case but as it turns out a custom integration would be a pain to update if wording, fields, and any other data needed to be changed.

Because I know Alyssa likes control over content, I wanted the form to be fairly customizable on the front end in terms of labels, placeholders, and values. With this in mind, I searched for alternative solutions. Low and behold enters a really nice Kirby plugin called Uniform (https://github.com/mzur/kirby-uniform).

Uniform makes PHP forms within Kirby much easier and allows you to "new" up a form very fast inside your themes. Out of the box, you get these actions and features:

• Email: Send the form data by email.
• EmailSelect Choose from multiple recipients to send the form data by email.
• Log: Log the form data to a file.
• Login: Log in to the Kirby frontend.
• SessionStore: Store the form in the user's session.
• Upload: Handle file uploads.
• Webhook: Send the form data as an HTTP request to a webhook.

In this part of the series watch me integrate the new plugin as well as test it before we move on.
