easiest backend solution to a basic website?

I'm wondering what would be the best and simplest way to add back end support to my website. I would like users to be able to submit a simple form so they can get a quote response back from me. My site is built html/css and foundation and would be considering installing wordpress for the back end but not sure if this would be the right approach.

also could this be accomplished with a little bit of php/sql? I dont know sql and php doesn't seem that bad, but sql scares me.

Hi, if you want to just submit the form and thats it , very little php would be enough form what i saw. You can look on youtube, or check the courses here on php and find the video where they are making the forum to actualy send . If you need help to find it , please write back.
