functioning contact form without resorting to learning a new language.

Hi i just need a little guidance to an issue I have been thinking about recently. What's the simplest way I can have a functioning contact form on a website without resorting to learning a whole new language like PHP? The reason I ask is because I'm going to be starting to build a few websites for some local business and all they really need can be done with CSS HTML and some Javascript/Jquery; I'm not ready to buckle down and go through with the PHP track if there's a much simpler way to get a simple feature on some static websites. thank you.

I think I found something and will be testing it out.

Your input would still be appreciated.

Depending on how sensitive the information from the form is, this might not be the best solution. Also, you should tell your clients that you will be using a solution that forwards form inputs to this service's website before sending it to an email address so that they can decide whether they want to go that route or not.
