A great way to build online communities is to attract visitor participation using website polls and surveys. These features can help increase involvement and add tremendous value not only as information-gathering tools, but also as a way to develop useful and interesting website content.
Quick polls can help site owners and webmasters gather visitor feedback about site design and navigation, quality of service, new products, and a lot more. Online ballots can be fun, informative and encourage repeat visits to your web site. The promise of published results and analysis can help keep your customers coming back for more.
Longer surveys can help business owners and managers identify future product and service goals. One problem has always been how to find the time and resources to build and incorporate polls and surveys into existing web sites.

Hosted Pollâ"¢ Features
Configure and Personalize
You have total control over the look and feel of your voting panel and reports. We do not require you to carry our advertisements, banners, disclaimers or annoying pop-ups, pop-unders or page re-directs.
Question Types
Question types include single answer radio buttons, drop-down menus, multiple answer check boxes, plus the ability to enter open-ended (free-form) text. You can have one or two questions per poll: one multiple choice question, one open-ended question, or one of each.
Fast Response
Your web page isn't refreshed or reloaded when a respondent votes. You get instant results, and have the option to display them within your voting panel or in a separate pop-up window.
Multi-Lingual
Poll in any language. This is a great option if you expect international visitors to your web site.
"Ballot Box" Control
Prevent duplicate polls by restricting visitors to just one vote.
Security
Your polling code is invisible to others, and your data is safe on our secure servers. Beware of less sophisticated polling systems that let hackers copy your code and place it on their web site.
Randomize Answer Choices
Often the sequence of the list of answer choices presented to voters can unintentionally introduce bias in the results.
