# How do I create a Poll or Survey in SimDif?

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: Methods for integrating third-party surveys or building custom feedback forms within a SimDif website.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## How to add a Poll or Survey to your website

There are two primary ways to survey customers, followers, or website visitors using the SimDif website builder:

#### ● Link to an external poll or survey
#### ● Use a custom contact form (Pro plan only)

### Link to a poll created outside of SimDif

This method works on all SimDif plans (Starter, Smart, and Pro) and allows you to use specialized third-party tools.

1. Create a survey using external services such as [Google Forms](https://docs.google.com/forms), [SurveyMonkey](https://www.surveymonkey.com/), [Jotform](https://www.jotform.com/), [TypeForm](https://www.typeform.com/), Facebook, or LinkedIn.
2. Copy the direct link to your completed survey.
3. In the SimDif app or browser interface, add a **Call to Action button** block or an ordinary text link to your page. In SimDif, a "block" is the fundamental unit of both page content and layout.
4. Paste your survey link into the button or link settings and click 'Apply'.

#### How to choose an app or service that fits your needs:

➘
• **Question Variety**: Consider the types of questions you want to ask. Some services offer basic options, while others provide complex surveys with diverse question formats.
• **Visuals**: Look at the visual design, as it can vary significantly between different services.
• **Results**: Think about how the results are presented to both you and your users, as this is often a crucial factor in choosing a provider.

### Create a custom contact form (Pro plan)

On a SimDif Pro site, you can add a customizable contact form to any page. These forms can include multiple-choice fields, checkboxes, and other elements to collect feedback or poll responses directly on your site.

#### To create a custom form:

➘
1. Navigate to the page where you want to add your survey.
2. Click on 'Add a New Block'.
3. Select the 'Special' blocks tab and choose the 'Customizable contact form' block.
4. Edit the fields and labels to suit your survey needs, and add new fields as required.
5. Publish your site to make the changes live.
