You have a couple of options:

• You can use the standard Web To Lead functionality(https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.setting_up_web-to-lead.htm&type=5) that Salesforce.com provides and embed its HTML in your form
• You can modify the back end of your website such that when it receives the form, it also creates a lead in Salesforce.com using the API. You'll find information on integrating to the API from almost every conceivable language on developer.force.com.
