Why FLW Forms

Lightweight & private – All submissions stay in your WordPress database—no third-party storage.
Fast to publish – Add a form with the FLW Form block or [flw_form id="123"].
Actionable alerts – Send notifications by email and/or Discord webhook.
Zero bloat – Focused on essentials for speed, reliability, and easy maintenance.
