Next Steps

1. Determine the title of your survey. A brief descriptive title is best. Example: "2004 ANRE Conference Feedback."
2. Write a short introduction to your survey, if you want to use one. This is not required, but it's a good place to include human subjects disclaimers and general instructions. Decide if you want this to appear on its own page before the survey begins, or at the top of the first page of the survey.
3. Choose a color scheme. Zoomerang offers several color schemes. We will brand your survey with the Extension Logo (blue/black/white). So, we suggest one of the following color schemes:

Bahama Blue


Basic Black


Graphite Gray


4. Determine how many questions you want. We can format your survey all on one page, or we can use multiple pages. Please think about how many questions you want to ask, and if there are natural page breaks. We recommend no more than 10 questions on a page. Please indicate where you'd like page breaks to appear. The most successful surveys should be brief - requiring no more than 10 minutes of time for the respondent. Less than 20 questions is a good goal.
5. "Skip" questions - Zoomerang can accommodate "skip" questions (Example: If no, please skip to question #5). Skip questions affect how many pages your survey will have and how they must be laid out. Questions that determine skipping must be mandatory, and must accept only one answer. Skip questions affect the numbering of all questions in a survey. If you use skip questions, please do not refer to question numbers in your question. Instead, please refer to "the previous question" or "the question on lodging," for example.
6. Question numbers - Zoomerang cannot accommodate sub-question numbers. For example, you can not use 1a, 1b to group your questions. Numbers are automatically assigned in sequential order.
