That is precisely what this example does.
Any form can be made as simple or complex as you like, they are just fields on a page. You can dress it up any way you like but the outcome is the same.
The OP also stated that they cannot use the PHP mailer, but could use SMTP, which would indicate that they may have some knowledge of simple PHP programming. It's not too late to learn if you want to make useful backends for web applications.

Its usually nice for the person who filled the form out to get some sort of indication that the form has been sent, and an email confirming it. That's what the php should at least do, which makes it not so simple for folk that don't know php
