Creating a Survey in Webflow

Are you looking to gather feedback or opinions from your website visitors? Webflow makes it incredibly easy to create and embed surveys directly into your website. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a survey in Webflow.

Step 1: Setting up your project
Before we dive into creating a survey, make sure you have a Webflow account and have set up a project. If you haven’t done so already, head over to webflow.com and sign up for an account. Once you’re logged in, create a new project or select an existing one where you want to add the survey.

Step 2: Adding form elements
To create a survey, we’ll be using form elements like checkboxes, radio buttons, and text fields. In Webflow’s Designer interface, navigate to the page where you want to add the survey. Drag and drop the form elements from the Elements panel onto your page.

Checkboxes:
Checkboxes are useful when you want respondents to select multiple options from a list of choices. For example, if you’re asking for users’ preferred hobbies or interests.

  • Create a heading using an

    tag such as “Select your preferred hobbies”.

  • Add checkboxes for each option using the tag.
  • Label each checkbox option using the

Radio buttons:
Radio buttons are ideal when respondents need to choose only one option from a list. For instance, if you’re asking users about their favorite movie genre.

  • Create an appropriate heading using an

    tag like “Choose your favorite movie genre”.

  • Add radio buttons for each option using the tag.
  • Label each radio button option using the

Text fields:
Text fields allow respondents to input their own answers. This is useful for open-ended questions where you want users to provide more detailed responses.

  • Create a heading using an

    tag like “Tell us your feedback”.

  • Add a text field using the tag.

Step 3: Styling your survey
Now that you have added the necessary form elements, it’s time to style your survey to make it visually appealing and user-friendly.

  • You can use CSS classes or Webflow’s built-in styling options to customize the appearance of your form elements, such as changing colors, fonts, and sizes.
  • Consider grouping related form elements together and adding appropriate spacing between them for better readability.

Step 4: Submitting and collecting responses
To collect responses from your survey, you’ll need to set up a form submission action in Webflow. Here’s how:

  • Select the form element on your page and open the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer interface.
  • In the Form Settings section, choose an action for your form submission. You can either use Webflow’s native forms or integrate with third-party services like Zapier or Google Sheets.

Add a success message:

It’s important to provide users with feedback after they submit their responses. You can create a success message using HTML or by customizing Webflow’s built-in success message.

Step 5: Embedding your survey
Once you have designed and set up your survey, it’s time to embed it on your website. Here’s how:

  • Switch to the Publish tab in Webflow’s Designer interface.
  • Click on the Embed button and copy the code provided.
  • Paste the code into your website’s HTML where you want the survey to appear.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a survey in Webflow.

Now you can gather valuable insights and feedback directly from your website visitors. Remember to regularly check and analyze the collected data to gain actionable insights.
