Portal signs up members; it doesn’t take messages
Ghost’s native forms feed Members — subscriptions, not conversations. An enquiry form needs its own backend, and Furrow is one POST away in any Handlebars template.

Why Ghost sites need a form backend
Ghost is superb at what it chose to be: publishing, memberships, newsletters. What it deliberately doesn’t include is a general-purpose contact form — the "work with me" form, the sponsorship enquiry, the support request. And on Ghost(Pro) you can’t deploy server code to catch one yourself. Furrow Forms is the clean fit: a plain HTML form in your theme or a code-injection block, posting to a managed endpoint that filters spam, stores the submission, and emails you. No plugin system required — which is good, because Ghost doesn’t have one.
Ghost(Pro) means no custom server code
Managed hosting is worth it, but it closes the DIY route. A Furrow-backed form is pure frontend markup — it works identically on Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted Ghost.
Theme edits shouldn’t be form maintenance
Recipients, thank-you URL, spam policy, and webhooks live on the Furrow project — change them in the dashboard or over the API without touching your theme or re-uploading a zip.

FAQ
Ghost + Furrow Forms, answered
How do I add a contact form to a Ghost site?
Add a plain HTML form — via an HTML card on a page, code injection, or a theme template — with its action pointed at a Furrow Forms endpoint. No server code is needed, so it works on Ghost(Pro) and self-hosted installs alike.
Doesn’t Ghost already have forms?
Ghost’s built-in forms are for member signup and newsletter subscription through Portal. There is no native general-purpose contact form, and no plugin system to add one — which is why a form backend is the standard answer.
Will this work with my Ghost theme?
Yes — the form is plain markup and inherits your theme’s styling like any other HTML. Style it with your theme’s classes; the honeypot field stays hidden, and Furrow handles what happens after the POST.
