You'll need to be logged in to make changes to your questionnaire. We're working in the Design tab. Make sure to save changes periodically.
1. Design templates
Choose one of our ready-made templates for an instant professional look. There are plenty of different styles which you'll find by scrolling through. Expand the design templates gallery for more templates.
2. Layout
Choose the position of your logo, text, and buttons. Click the icon displaying how the different layouts will appear on the screen - Left, Centered, or Compact.
On the left bottom, you'll see a mini-preview screen of how your questionnaire will appear. This will follow you down the screen as you scroll down to different design options and updates as you make changes.
Keep in mind that on a mobile device the survey layout will always look as compact.
3. Logo
Upload your logo by clicking Upload logo. Your logo will be resized to 400px height. Make sure your logo is at least 400px in order to guarantee good quality.
Your logo will always look better when you opt for a transparent one. The best format for the logo is PNG.
A box will pop up displaying the detected colors and asking if you'd like to use those colors. Click Yes, please, if you're happy to use those colors in your design. If you're not sure about the colors, click No, thanks for now.
You can use a template together with your logo colors. Your logo colors will be used for different parts of the text and template
If you decide later that actually you do want to use the logo colors, click Detect colors to automatically detect the colors from the logo you've uploaded and then click Yes, please to use the logo colors.
4. Colors
You can also customize the Primary color by clicking on the color picker tool.
To select your color, just click the Primary color icon and you will see a window like the one below.
If you want to change the color, move the circle along the color line or within the colored box to your desired shade.
If your company logo has a color code, you can select it here. Use the arrows to choose from HEX, RGB, or HSL.
5. Background
In this section, you can choose your own image to use it as a background or select a solid color.
Click Update background to upload your own image. If your questionnaire is going to be viewed on desktops, the minimum width should be 1920 px, and the minimum height should be 1536 px. If it is only going to be viewed on smartphones or tablets, the minimum width should be 621 px, and the minimum height should be 1104 px. The maximum file size is 2MB.
If you are using your questionnaire on a specific tablet, you can use the sizes of that tablet for the size of your background for optimal use.
If you'd prefer to have no image but only a single color, click on the color picker tool. You'll have the four options to adjust the background color to the shade that suits you best.
Besides customizing the main background image or color, you can also customize the color of the Content box. The Content box is the box where the question text is written and is overlaid on the background image.
Click the color picker tool to adjust the color of the Content box, and slide the circle to adjust the transparency of the box. All the changes you make will be visible immediately on the preview screen.
You can also add a Background Image or color per question/question block. Read Question grouping to see how to set it up.
6. Text
You have four different options here. Click the down arrow for a drop-down menu to change Font or Font size.
Use the color pick tool to adjust the Font color and Link color. Read the detailed explanation about choosing a color above.
7. Buttons
Here you can change the Button color or the Button text color by clicking on the color picker tool.
You'll be offered different ways of choosing your required color. Read the detailed explanation about choosing a color above.
The color of the scroll bar in your survey is by default grey. It can be changed with CSS, but CSS pseudo-element ::-webkit-scrollbar is not yet supported on all browsers.
When you hover over the scroll bar, its color will change to your buttons and sliders color if not overwritten by CSS. You can change the hover color with CSS by using
"::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover { background: CUSTOM_COLOR; }".

- Set up your Intro screen: The intro screen is the first screen your respondents will see when they're taking your questionnaire. When you're sending out a questionnaire, you'll want to give your respondents a bit of information before they start. You can do this with the Intro screen.
- Set up your final screen: The final screen aims to give a final message to your respondents, thank them for participating, give further instructions or leave some extra information. You can also display the respondent score like a percentage or a gauge chart.
