Considerations
Below are some factors to think about to help you choose the right solution:
- Do You Need a Survey or a Poll?
Surveys usually consist of multiple questions and are focused on providing quality feedback. In contrast, a poll is quick, may only be include one question and may not require any identification from the user. Polls are frequently used on websites to take the pulse of visitors.
- Frequency
Will the survey be a permanent fixture on your website or will it be used periodically?
- Number of Participants
How many participants or respondents will you be including.
- Anonymity
Do you need to know who submitted the questionnaire or will respondents be anonymous?
- Survey Complexity
How many questions and selection options will be included?
