Here's a step-by-step quick-guide on how to make branded surveys, a.k.a cool surveys. There are a lot of different details that you can adjust to your heart's content with our style editor, but with this guide you should be good to go after 5-10 minutes.
Organizations' admin users can create and set survey templates to their Surveypal users, more information here.
Add company logo
Pro-tip: Use a png-image with transparent background. That allows to adjust survey page transparency later.
- On Build-view add an image element to the survey canvas
- Click the element to open image bank
- Add your logo to the bank via upload button (bottom left corner)
- Select the image and click Add-button
- Adjust logo size from a small grey bracket in the image
- Adjust logo alignment from the image element gear menu
- Save changes
Change survey background image and page transparency
Pro-tip: Background image with HD-resolution of 1900x1200 pixels works best in most screens.
- Navigate to Design-view
- Click laptop-icon
- Open Background-section
- Click rasterised Background-box to select an image from the image bank (upload image if needed)
- Click Page background color -box to adjust page transparency (Opacity percentage adjustment is a trap, don't fall in it.)
- Adjust page transparency from a slider that is visible in the colour picker (Modesty is virtue here, use max 0.85 transparency.)
- Save changes
Change title and subtitle colours
Pro-tip: Colour picker #-value field accepts also RGB-values, e.g. rgb 0 0 0.
- In Design-view (laptop selected), open Colors -section
- Click Heading 1 colour picker and use brand guideline main color
- Click Heading 2 colour picker and use brand guideline secondary color (This adjustment might not be visible on survey form if Heading 2 is not used in any text element.)

Change font
Pro-tip: Hosted fonts can be used if needed font is not available. Check Google font guideline.
- In Design-view (laptop selected), open Typography -section
- Click Base-font and use brand guideline font (If font is not available, check accepted fallback / electronic document fonts from the guideline or use a hosted font.)
- Save changes
Change slider color
Pro-tip: Adjusting slider fill color is a subtle way of bringing brand colors to surveys without going overboard.
- In Design-view (laptop selected), open Colors -section
- Scroll down to Elements -section and click open color picker from 'Slider color'
- Set wanted color with # or RGB values
- Save changes
Check portrait mobile settings
Pro-tip: By default survey forms adjust automatically to smaller screens, but it's good to check how your survey fares on narrow screens. Adjustments to e.g. portrait mobile -view will not override desktop (laptop icon) settings on larger screens.
- In Design-view click portrait mobile icon to preview your survey on mobile screen
- If there seems to be a need to do adjustments, click 'Use custom styles for portrait mobile'
- Open section you wish to adjust (E.g. changing Heading 1 em-value smaller makes the survey heading fit better to smaller screen.)
