Website Surveys

Quickstart

Website Surveys make it easy for your public website visitors to give you feedback. They are a great way to get feedback from your users, without interrupting their workflow. This quickstart guide will show you how to create your first website survey in under 5 minutes.

Website Surveys are ideal for public facing websites. If you are looking to run surveys in your app where you have user identification & want advanced user targeting, head over to the App Surveys Quickstart Guide.

Create a free Formbricks Cloud account: While you can self-host Formbricks, but the quickest and easiest way to get started is with the free Cloud plan. Just sign up here and you'll be guided to our onboarding like below:

Website & App Surveys have the same integration process. The difference will come when we setup our survey.
