How to embed a survey on your website

Five ways to do it, and none of them needs a developer.

All the codes are under Share. Copy a code and paste it into your page. Any website builder that lets you add HTML will do: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow and others.

1. Inline

The survey appears right inside the page, where you pasted the code. Best for a poll inside an article or a form on its own page.

2. Popup

Paste the code where you want the button to be. When a visitor clicks it, the survey opens in a window on top of your site.

3. Sticky button

A tab with a label (Contact Us by default) on the edge of the screen, visible on every page. You can change the text, the colors and the direction, horizontal or vertical. Paste the code just before the closing </body> tag.

4. Sticky panel

A bar at the top or bottom of the screen that invites visitors to take your survey. You can stop showing it to visitors who have closed it.

5. HTML form code

The ready HTML of the first survey page, for when you want full control over the markup and CSS. Do not change the field names or form parameters, or responses will not be saved. If the survey has several pages, respondents continue on simpoll after the first one.

Frequently asked questions

The embedded survey does not match my website.

Change the colors and font in Theme: see Survey theme and language.

Can I pass my website's user ID into the survey?

Yes, through the API: you add parameters to the embed code and get them back together with the responses. The developer guide has the details.
