How to make a poll
Making a poll for your website is easy with our free website poll generator. The poll maker creates simple html poll code for you to copy and paste on your website. The poll can be tailored with the editor to allow an unlimited amount of questions and over 10 different styles. The poll code can be placed on all social networks and website, alternatively a simple link can be placed on your site which links to you poll.
How the Poll Code works
The poll creator generates poll code based upon the question and answers you provide in the generator. At this point a poll is also created in our database to store your results. When the html poll code is pasted on your website your question and options will be displayed. The html code contains a simple form which is posted to our poll website which in turn updates the database. When an answer is voted upon your poll is updated in the database and live results are displayed. While it may sound complex to those note familiar with coding all you are required to do is enter your questions and paste the automatically generated code on your website. Making a poll for your website is now easier than ever.
How a traditional Poll works
A traditional poll works in exactly the same manner but typically requires you (the webmaster) to configure the database, the form, the results page and a moderate amount of knowledge on a coding language. There are dozens of free php polls and other various poll scripts on the web for those that want to completely control the way in which their poll works but even our poll allows a fairly decent amount of customization to fit in with your website theme. With many new websites and personal publishing platforms like Facebook, MySpace and twitter you just don’t have the option of creating a custom coded poll.
Tailoring the poll
The poll code generator now features an option allowing you to select from many different themes. We’ve tried to keep the themes simple so the questions remain clear and easily visible to your visitors. The styles are created by modifying the CSS around the poll. If you are familiar with CSS then feel free to modify the poll code and tailor the appearance to your preferences. If by chance you happen to destroy the code just create another poll, copy the code and start again. If you do intend to modify the code please be sure to test your poll before publishing.

Using a website poll to improve your website
Creating controversy, divide and debate is a proven and effective method of generating website traffic. Stir an emotion and provide a means of expression and your website becomes much more than a static page of information. The concept does not revolve around the gawk factor of offensive and crude material. While that does work for some websites the idea is to create a spark which promotes interaction on your website, let your visitors understand something new about a subject they are fascinated with and entices the visitor to return and watch the debate unfold.
What type of poll question to ask?
In just about any topic area there are philosophical questions which don’t have a right or wrong answer. These are great for creating debate which can often become quite informative. Presenting a case scenario and asking a related question can also act as interesting content ‘What would you do?’ type questions.
