# Middleman Integration

# Create a new Middleman site

To start a new site on middleman, you can run the following command to build a Middleman site in the current folder:

$ middleman init my-middleman-site

cd into my-middleman-site to open folder and run the following command to start a local dev server:

$ bundle exec middleman server

Middleman will start a development environment accessible by default at localhost:4567.

# Add a Contact Section to your Middleman site

Middleman uses a file-based routing system. For example, source/contact.html.erb will be mywebsite.com/contact.html/.

Create a new file called contact.html.erb under source directory and copy the code block below to add a contact section.

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="https://getform.io/{your-form-endpoint}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" target="_blank">
    <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email">
    <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your Name">
    <input type="text" name="message" placeholder="Your Message">
    <button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>

# Run your Middleman site locally to finalize setup

Run the following command to see your Middleman form in action at localhost:4567/contact.html/:

 bundle exec middleman server

That's it! Your Middleman site is now running Getform.
