A form backend I designed, built and still run. Website owners point their forms at Formtorch, and it receives each submission, filters out spam and sends it where it needs to go.
Formtorch is BitForward's own software product. It started as an internal tool for client websites and grew into a paid service for developers, agencies and business owners. BitForward designs, builds and runs all of it, from the code and hosting to billing and support.
Tell me what you're trying to do, and I'll tell you honestly whether custom software makes sense.
A contact form looks simple, but the page only collects the message. Something still has to receive it, check it for spam, store it and tell the right person. A static site has no server to do that, so the usual choices are building a backend for every project or paying for a service.
Formtorch does that work with one change: point the form at a Formtorch address. There's no code library to install and no server to run. I kept the design plain and the setup short, so developers can add it to a site in minutes and owners can read their submissions in a simple dashboard.
People who build websites want forms they don't have to think about, and the people who own those sites want every real enquiry to reach them. Before choosing a form service, they want to know:
A lost enquiry can mean a lost job, often without anyone knowing. So the service has to be dependable first and simple second.
I built Formtorch as a hosted service with one job: getting every form submission to the right place.
Formtorch is live and in daily use, and I keep improving it.
