# Overview
In a nutshell, `hugo-mx-gateway` provides a RESTful POST endpoint for static contact/demo request pages. It's a simple, yet a powerful tool built for this only-designated purpose.
**While this project is already deployed in production for several websites, the documentation may still contain misspellings or typos.
Contributions in any form (code/docs/ideas...) are welcomed.**

# Use the built-in form for Hugo
The file `./samples/hugo-partial-contact-form.html` contains a sample HTML form for Hugo. It can be used for both contact and demo requests.
Open the file in a your favorite editor and review it.
Open the file in your favorite editor and review it.
Notice that the form is configured to be rendered specifically according to a Hugo parameter named **tags**, which is actually a **list of tags**. If the parameter holds a tag named `contact` then, the form will be rendered as a contact form. Otherwise, it'll be rendered as a demo form.
