A candid desk scene: an open ledger book, a printed invoice, a mug with a retro logo, and a laptop showing a customer record. Sunlight from the left casts sharp shadows across the desk, evoking late afternoon focus time. 90s analogue photo aesthetic, realistic textures. Minimal human presence, more “tools of the trade” feel. A strong diagonal beam of natural light cuts across the white wall in the background, adding depth and elegance to the composition. The entire setting is bright, airy, and minimal. The only accent of bold color: her strappy sandals are rendered in a deep, saturated Klein blue (#002fa7), with a matte, high-fashion finish that pops against the otherwise neutral tones. Photorealistic textures, soft diffused lighting, high-resolution editorial photography style, perfectly balanced and refined.

Last Friday, we’ve released Formbox, our form-backend as a service. After using Formbox for more than six months internally, we’ve decided to make the tool available for everyone.

Formbox is an easy way add a backend to your website’s forms. It includes things like an administrative interface, SPAM protection, Slack/e-mail notifications and backups.

At Firmhouse, We have been creating quite some websites that include forms for signing up for events or beta lists. Setting up a backend for these forms that stores entries and notifies our team felt like a repetitive and trivial process. The existing tools did not fit our needs, so we decided to "scratch our own itch" and build a little service ourselves.

Read the full story on the Formbox blog.

Formbox and all of its features are free to use for a single form, so I invite you to try it out!
