Creating Surveys Using GoogleDocs

August 12, 2009 by Antonio Garcia

As AIGA XCD ramps up for its big China Expedition, I'll be working with the Communications Committee to redesign the group's website, blog and newsletter. In order to meet the needs of those interested in cross-cultural design, we have to know what parts of our web offerings people find useful and what can be done to improve them.

My first thought was to create a simple questionnaire using Survey Monkey because it was the most familiar to me. But a colleague mentioned trying GoogleDocs as an alternative, so I gave it a shot—and ended up liking it.

Of course it's free and collects all the data in a powerful spreadsheet with all the sharing and accessibility you'd expect from a Google document. But there are also some decent templates (better than expected) and the setup was super easy. You can check out the one I made and let me know what you think. Also, are there any other free online survey makers I should try?
