+```html
+{{ define "contact-form" }}
+<form @submit.prevent="submitForm()">
+  <div class="form-group">
+    <label for="name">Name</label>
+    <input type="text" id="name" class="form-input" x-model="form.name" required>
+  </div>
+
+  <div class="form-group">

+  </div>
+
+  <div class="form-group">

+    <textarea id="message" class="form-textarea" x-model="form.message" required></textarea>
+  </div>
+
+  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" :disabled="isSubmitting">
+    {{ i18n "submit" }}
+  </button>
+</form>
+{{ end }}

+```javascript
+// In your page template
+<div x-data="formComponentsData()">

+</div>
+```
+
+### Adding New Form Fields
+
+1. Add CSS class to `main.css` (form-input, form-textarea, etc.)

+3. Add i18n strings to `i18n/en.yaml` and `i18n/it.yaml`
+4. Test in both dark/light modes and all breakpoints
