Builder

These days it is crucial to have a fast cloud app. Looking for the most up-to-date technology possible we stumbled upon Facebook. They have released their own frameworks and technology for the rest of the world. We implemented both to Survio and now we can all benefit from that.

• Simplified builder means less decision making. Every survey should start with introduction and all respondents should receive a thank you for their effort.
  • Welcome page becomes mandatory first survey page. You just create unique survey title, description text and upload your logo.
  • Thank you page has always been the last page – but from now on it is simplified so all users can use default configuration. Premium customers can create their own Thank you page or redirect respondents to any desired web address.

• Faster builder by 70% helps you be more efficient and create surveys faster. Literally in minutes! Modern technology inside brings joy to your daily tasks when working with surveys and questions. See for yourself how fast the builder is!
• New survey design together with color themes and a bunch of beautiful background images help you create hundreds of combinations. Simply put, new surveys look and feel on a new level.
• Custom background image (premium users can upload their own background) built-in AI detects colours from the basic image and does all the settings automatically (chooses the most accurate color theme, sets overlay color filter, etc). The result is always great looking. No hassle…

You can also use single color for questionnaire background

• Redesigned question Move action – we have dropped that Drag&Drop question move which was not intuitive and buggy. New one is frictionless, fast and works flawlessly on touchscreen devices as well.

• Survey password protection and IP address restriction features have been released for all users so everyone can protect their surveys whenever needed.

Survey

From the very start we wanted to have a survey template which will be fast, mobile-ready and will help you collect more responses. But how to achieve it? That was the real challenge. Here it is:

• Developed using mobile first methodology (60% of all collected responses come from smartphones these days, and this number will increase). Surveys work fast and flawlessly on all mobile devices. It is a real joy for all respondents to respond to all the questions.
• Brand new survey design – modern, clean, customzable, easy-to-read, with great user interface. Everyone understands what to do, how to answer questions and how to submit survey.
• New design of password locked survey page.
• Redesigned advanced question types (Semantic differential, Text answer (date), Rating scale, Ordering, Matrix) –  everyone can now understand how to fill these questions without any trouble.

• Added default help texts with instructions to all questions that need it –   respondents are being told what to do with each question. Default texts save your valuable time (you do not need to think about it anymore when designing surveys).
• Respondent progress saving – having very long surveys is not an issue anymore. You will not be losing respondents. They can close the survey when not having enough time and reopen it anytime later to finish it.

Fast, mobile-ready, easy-to-understand, good looking with perfect interface, with default instructions, automatically saved surveys – these are all required ingredients, necessary to get higher conversion rates (more collected responses).

According to our user tests the new surveys collect 15-20% more responses on average!

Hope you will enjoy and appreciate these changes we have been working on for more than a year. A great deal more news is incoming.
