Full branding control

Maintaining the image of your brand is important, which is why we offer a huge range of style templates for your online surveys. For people and organisations with access to more advanced coding skills, we allow the use of custom HTML and CSS to make totally bespoke “look and feel” for surveys. If you don’t have these skills within your organisation, then get in touch with our account team who can help with the use of our own internal team of designers and coders.

Domain branding

SmartSurvey enables you to fully customise your online surveys, which includes the branding of your survey links. You are provided with an option to use your own domain name as part of your survey link, so a sub domain of your choice can replace the default survey link.

Built for teams

Business users of SmartSurvey can set up multiple users within their account, each with their own permissions and surveys. If your organisation is dealing with sensitive data, this can be important for ensuring that data is only visible to the people who need to see it.

Convenience for respondents

With our “Save and continue” feature, you can allow your respondents to take a break from the survey at any time and return to it later by means of a unique link sent to them via email. When they click the link, from any device, it takes them back to where they left the survey.

File management

The File cabinet within your SmartSurvey account makes it simple to store survey-related documents. Just upload your files to the cabinet, and then whenever you need them for your survey, you simply open up the file cabinet and select the relevant file. There’s no need for you to find somewhere else for you to host files.

Receive files with your responses

Respondents using SmartSurvey can upload files from their own devices to the survey as part of their response. You can then look at these files within SmartSurvey when viewing responses. This makes SmartSurvey a powerful tool for applications and CVs, or even in situations where you need respondents to send photos.
