A quick question under an article, “Was this helpful?” or “Which topic next?”, gets far more answers than a form. Many poll tools load from another company’s servers, though, and some need visitors to sign in.
Add the poll
- Install the free SoftIcon Poll and activate it.
- Add the Poll block. Pick a ready-made poll, such as Yes / No or Rating, or start empty.
- Write the question and the answers right in the block.
- Publish.
Votes are saved on your own site. There is no account to create and no outside service, and the poll works on cached pages.
Results, once per visitor, and a closing date
- Show results after voting, always, only when the poll closes, or never.
- Each visitor votes once. The browser and the IP address are checked.
- Set an End date and the poll closes on its own.
Pictures as answers
Click Add image next to an answer to let people choose what they see, for example a layout or a product color.
Vote on the Poll demos to see each option at work.
