Complexity is slowly winding down with next generation frameworks like Svelte and SolidJS, but I suppose you don't want that anyway. For the front-end you probably want at least a CSS framework. I recommend this: https://kylelogue.github.io/mustard-ui/index.html https://kylelogue.github.io/mustard-ui/index.html It looks good and doesn't have strange font-size hacks that could make it incompatible with external CSS. IIRC it's possible to include it as a single CSS file and call it a day. You don't need JS at all for a simple form. As for the backend: I unironically recommended PHP. It's a whole rabbit hole of different solutions, but you can always fall back to a framework-less solution. Just be mindful of security issues.
