Creating a form in Verge3D is easy and can be made in a complete code-less manner with HTML Puzzles. We also provide a ready-to-use solution in the puzzles library.
However, when talking about server side, things are more complicated, since you need to have some logic implemented on the server. Thankfully, there are plenty of headless form solutions (aka form backends) out there.

Most of these systems are paid services, yet allow a greater level of customization. For example, you can implement automatic email responses, subscriptions, posting to Google Docs, Slack, Trello, integrations with CRM systems such as Salesforce. Good thing, that almost everything can be configured without coding.
