Can I create a jotform and email the link?

I want to create a form and email the link to people to fill out. Is that doable without a website to attach it to?

Yes, after you made a form, just get the URL and send it to your users via email.
Please check this guide on Where to Find your Form URL.

Also, you can follow this guide on How to Send a Form via Email.

Hope this helps! :)
