Opinion Stage offers a featureful solution for creating online forms and surveys. Due to their interactive, visual, and responsive design, Opinion Stage forms and surveys have very high participation rates.

Following is a video tutorial for getting started with Opinion Stage forms/surveys:

How to create a form/survey

You can create a form/survey in four ways:

  1. Start from scratch: Build your item step by step.

  2. Create with AI: Enter a topic and let our AI create the form/survey..

  3. Start with a template: Start with a ready-made template and customize it

  4. Import your own questions: type or copy/paste your questions (and answer options)

Form/survey editor overview

Inside the editor you’ll see:

  • Left panel: Edit the form/survey structure: cover page, questions, and results.

  • Center: Preview each card as you edit it (to see the full item, click Preview button in the top bar).

  • Right panel: Customize the content, design, and settings. The Content tab helps you set features of the card in the center. The Design tab lets you adjust branding elements. Use the Settings tab to control general form/survey behavior.

Structure of a form/survey

Cover page (optional)

Add a title, description (optional), and image or video (optional). You can upload your own image or video or search for an image (make sure to apply the free to use or share filter in this case).

Questions

Add various types of questions to gather the input you need. Opinion Stage supports multiple-choice (single or multiple answers), short and long answer fields, email and phone fields, date pickers, dropdowns, website fields, and more. You can also include informative cards to divide your form or survey into clear sections.

Need to collect contact info or custom data? Add a lead form to capture emails, names, dropdown selections, checkboxes, and more!

Closings

At the end of your form or survey, show a closing page that confirms completion. You can keep it simple with one closing or set up multiple closings using skip logic to personalize based on responses.

Settings and customization

In the Design tab, you can change colors, fonts, and more to match your brand. Read more about design customization. The Settings tab gives you advanced control over your form/survey. For example, you can remove the Opinion Stage branding, receive email notifications for new entries, set a closing date, adjust navigation options & more!

Distributing your item

Once your form/survey is ready, it’s time to share it. Read all about sharing your items here.

Viewing and analyzing results

Once responses start coming in, you can track performance right inside your dashboard. You'll see how many people viewed, started, and completed the form/survey, along with engagement metrics like average time and CTA clicks. You can also review individual responses and export results. Read more about each results section here.

That’s everything you need to get started with a form/survey. If you have questions, reach out through our chat located on the bottom/right of the screen - we’re here to help!
