Interactive Contact Form

This Interactive Contact Form project delivers a robust, user-centric form solution for websites, incorporating client-side validation, server-side processing, and enhanced UX features. Developed with Next.js API routes and React Hook Form, it supports multi-step inputs, conditional fields, and drag-and-drop file uploads. The primary challenge was implementing secure file handling without exposing vulnerabilities like arbitrary code execution. Core technologies include React Hook Form for form state, Zod for schema validation, and Cloudinary for media uploads. Backend uses Next.js API with rate limiting via Upstash Redis to prevent spam. Accessibility features like live announcements and keyboard navigation were prioritized. Overcoming issues involved handling async validation feedback and ensuring GDPR-compliant data handling. Results include a 90% reduction in form abandonment rates, successful integration with email services like Resend, and comprehensive error logging. This project exemplifies secure, performant form implementation, vital for lead generation in business sites.
