## The inquiry form (two modes)
1. **Now — `mailto:` (zero setup).** Submitting the form opens the visitor's email app with a pre-filled message to `stormcloudjumpers@gmail.com`. Works out of the box.
2. **Upgrade — send via Gmail, no email app needed.** Deploy `form-handler.gs` as a Google Apps Script web app (5-minute steps are in that file), copy the resulting `/exec` URL, and paste it into `FORM_ENDPOINT` near the top of `script.js`. The form will then email submissions straight to the inbox and fall back to `mailto:` only if the request fails.

The form will then email submissions straight to the inbox and fall back to `mailto:` only if the request fails. **This is the current plan** (routes through her own Gmail — no third-party vendor, no cost).
3. **Future — fully self-hosted (once the web host is chosen).** If the host runs PHP (most shared hosts do), a small `contact.php` can send the mail from our own server — no Google involved. If the site lands on Netlify/Cloudflare/Vercel, use that platform's built-in form/function handler. Either is a small swap on the same form; the front-end doesn't change. Deferred until hosting is decided.
