Serverless(?) Form Submissions

Normally, if you built a form on a website, you would have to connect it to a server that would listen and save your form's responses. But in this case, we can get around that problem by hosting our static website on Netlify, an external service known for hosting static websites, but can also handle form submissions. Netlify handles form submissions without needing us to manually set up a server by already having a server set up to receive our form submissions and detecting them using a custom form attribute they call "data-netlify" to trigger their server connection to our form and even display a thank you page using react.
