Online Surveys

Creative Research Systems offers both online survey software and full-service online survey hosting.

As part of a comprehensive survey software solution, The Survey System's online questionnaires offer sophisticated questionnaire logic features not found in most "Online survey" packages.  You can find sample questionnaires presented below.

After you collect your data, you can produce more impressive tables, charts and text reports than you can with other packages.  You can even produce reports online.

Another benefit of this comprehensive solution is that you enter your question and answer choice text and any logic instructions only once. Then you can use them for online surveys, e-mail surveys,  paper questionnaires and telephone interviews. 

 

Appearance Features

  • Put all your questions on a single page or divide them into as many pages as desired 
  • Use background colors or images and  logos 
  • Vary fonts and colors in your question text
  • Set left and right margins
  • Show pictures and video
  • Play sound files
  • Optionally show your questionnaire as a data entry form
  • Use option buttons, checkboxes, drop down lists, text fields and grids (tables)

 

Questionnaire Logic Features

  • Use individual or overall passwords to control who completes your questionnaire
  • Skip questions based on answers to other questions
  • Show previous answers in the text of current questions
  • Only show answer choices that were either picked or not picked in a previous question

E-mail Integration

  • E-mail invitations to people to take your survey
  • Invitations can include individual passwords

Sample Online Questionnaires

These sample questionnaires are designed to illustrate some features of our software.  They are not intended as model questionnaires per se.  Please try them all.  They illustrate some different appearance choices and logic features.
  • Employee Sample - a multi-page survey with grid questions 

  • Lifestyle Sample - a one-page survey that includes section breaks

  • TV Commercial Sample - a survey with streaming video and automatic return to this page

  • Health Sample - a survey that includes branching and randomizes question order 

  • Product Sample - a survey that illustrates the password feature and how it can bring in information you already have about people.  Is also shows a progress bar and custom forward and back buttons.

  • Background Sample - a page from a survey by Evidens onderzoekdiensten that uses a background image to match their client's site.

  • Form Sample - a registration form.  This example shows how The Survey System can insert a questionnaire into a site's template page, making a survey conform to a site's look.

 

Hosting

Online surveys must be hosted on a Windows NT or 2000 Web server. A major advantage of using Windows to host surveys is that you can test the actual survey using your browser on your own PC before uploading it to the Web server.

If your site is not on a Windows NT or 2000 server, we can host your survey for you (for a fee).  The pages can look like part of your site.

To enhance security, the instructions and data can be stored in a folder that is not set up to be accessible from the Internet.
