Introducing FiraForm

We’re excited to announce FiraForm - the headless form backend built specifically for developers, web designers and also JAM stack builders.

Why I Built FiraForm

Like many of you, I was a WordPress guy for years. But recently, I made the switch to static site generators. The performance gains were incredible—sites that took 2-3 seconds to load on WordPress now loaded in under 500ms. No more security updates, no more plugin conflicts, no more database maintenance. It was liberating.

But I quickly ran into the static site challenge: how do you handle forms, search, and comments when you have no backend?

These are the three core interactive features most websites need, and they’re all problematic in a static environment. Search can be handled with client-side solutions or services like Algolia. Comments? You can use Disqus or similar third-party platforms. But forms—forms were everywhere, and the existing solutions didn’t feel right.

The Form Problem

I needed forms for contact pages, newsletter signups, support requests, waitlists, surveys—you name it. The existing solutions fell into a few categories:

• Traditional form builders - Bloated, restrictive, and expensive. They give you an ugly iframe or force you to use their design.
• Backend-as-a-Service platforms - Powerful, but overkill for simple form handling. I didn’t need an entire database and authentication system.
• Self-hosted solutions - Defeated the whole purpose of going static in the first place.

I wanted something simple: send form data to an endpoint, get it via email or webhook, and move on with my life. Complete control over the design. No JavaScript required unless I wanted it. And please, don’t make me spin up a server.

So I built FiraForm.

Our Take on Forms

We’re not trying to solve all the challenges of static sites. We’re not building a search engine or a commenting system. But we believe we have a solid take on forms—the most common interactive element on static sites.

FiraForm is built to be:

• Headless - Complete control over your form design. Use your own HTML, your own CSS, your own validation. We just handle the backend.
• Developer-friendly - Simple API, powerful features. Point your form to our endpoint and you’re done. No SDK to install unless you want advanced features.
• Fast - Built on modern infrastructure. Your form submissions are processed instantly, and we won’t slow down your site.
• Flexible - Works with any framework or static site. Astro, Next.js, Hugo, Jekyll, hand-coded HTML—doesn’t matter.
