  Create a contact form powered by Amazon SES and your component library of choice. You'll need to create a Next.js API route at /pages/api/contact.js that is passed the form data, formats it as desired, then sends it to your admin email address using aws-sdk. Make sure your form properly validates inputs and display any errors returned by Amazon SES.
