Homepage<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a great place to share your UX poll to get an overall idea of how users enjoy your website. You can have these pop up in the corner of your website or consider using your live chat plugin to create a CTA for your survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional ideas include sharing your user experience survey in an <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">announcement bar<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your website, grabbing the attention of regular website visitors, and inviting them to check out your survey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a great time to ask generic questions about how users access your website and if it\u2019s easy to understand and navigate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You always want to be specific in your survey questions, making it as easy as possible for your respondents to leave honest feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is how the folks at Hotjar use the feedback survey on their homepage:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7921\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Hotjar-survey.jpg\" alt=\"Hotjar survey on the homepage\" width=\"398\" height=\"345\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Landing Pages<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been struggling to see conversions on your sales and landing pages, you might want to put together a user experience survey that gauges how your audience consumes your web pages and see if you can make changes that would better cater to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask questions that will help you understand if the copy on your landing page doesn&#8217;t make sense or if the process to sign up, schedule a demo, or any other features are too complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to remember important <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/acodez.in\/ux-designs-tips\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UX design tips<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so that you\u2019re ensuring your web pages are easy to navigate and help both you and your customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Pages With High Exit Rates<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your website\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/how-to-use-google-analytics-to-improve-ux-design\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can give you some great insights when it comes to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clicdata.com\/blog\/customer-behavior-analysis-roi\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analyzing customer behavior<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Take a look at landing pages with high exit rates and consider adding a WordPress poll to those pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can ask questions that will help understand why users are leaving your website from the pages so often and find out if there\u2019s more information that your audience might be looking for that they can\u2019t find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See if you can create a better flow on those web pages to lead visitors to other pages and eventually get them to convert or turn into a new lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Cancelation Pages<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great location for adding a user experience survey to your website would be on pages where your customers cancel subscriptions or unsubscribe from services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding out why they\u2019re leaving and if there\u2019s anything about your website or app that they would prefer can be a great form of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/helpcrunch.com\/blog\/customer-service\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Success Pages<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a similar way, you can also use UX polls to see what you\u2019re doing right. If there are certain pages that perform over others, put together a survey to see what they enjoyed about their experience on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have data from these various polls, be sure to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">analyze your responses<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, so you have some action items for your website developer to improve the overall experience for future website visitors and customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Questions to Ask in a Poll for UX<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to start designing your new survey? Here are 20 questions that you might want to consider incorporating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just keep in mind that you only need to choose about 5-8, maximum, of the most important questions. You don\u2019t want to overwhelm your survey respondents and make them exit the poll before submitting their answers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>1. On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate your experience with the website?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering a scale for your survey answers is a great way to get a straightforward reply from your audience. Make sure you let them know which one means worst experience (typically 1) and which one means the best experience (typically 5 or 10, depending on how large of a scale you want to offer).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can choose if you want to have your audience answer on a smaller or larger scale, but keep in mind that larger scales give you a much larger variety of answers. And it\u2019s hard to know if one person\u2019s 6 is the same as another person\u2019s 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering a 1-4 or 1-5 scale is better because there won\u2019t be as much variance in your answer. You\u2019ll be looking at something like this for your responses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 = Very Dissatisfied<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 = Dissatisfied<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 = Fair or Neutral<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 = Satisfied<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 = Very Satisfied<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anything larger than that can be confusing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Did you encounter any problems while using the website?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a question that can help you to understand if your audience is struggling with any parts of your website that your team may not have caught.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this question, you have the option of leaving it open-ended, but this could cause users who haven&#8217;t had issues to think of something to insert simply because that appears to be the only suitable response to this question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, use radio buttons with the options Yes or No, then include a field with the caption, \u201cIf yes, explain.\u201d This way, you&#8217;ll only catch real answers from users having website issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>3. How could we improve your experience?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a general rule, you want to avoid open-ended questions to ensure responses are as accurate as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So with a question like this, it&#8217;s going to be a good idea to give your audience specific actions that you&#8217;re actually looking to implement on the website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are a few examples:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the navigation easier to use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add more sign up buttons to the page<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make it easier to contact you<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, you can also include options like \u201cNothing, my experience was perfect\u201d or \u201cOther (please specify)\u201d to get additional information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>4. How easy is our website to use?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another great question that can use a scale of 1-5. In this case, your scale would be something like this:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 = Very Difficult<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 = Difficult<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 = Neutral \/ Neither Easy Nor Difficult<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 = Easy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5 = Very Easy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Did you like the design of the website?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an easy yes or no question. If you want more specific feedback, you can include a field that says something like, \u201cIf no, what could we do to improve?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that the more open-ended questions you ask, the fewer respondents you&#8217;re likely to bring in. Keep your poll short and sweet to increase the number of people who are willing to complete it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can also ask this when you went through a redesign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>6. How did the website make you feel?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another great option for using a scale of 1-5. In this case, try using various smiley faces as the poll response options. Bringing in unique answer options will make your survey more fun and engaging for your website visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>7. How was the experience with the website on your smartphone?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to ensure your website is mobile-friendly, create a survey that only appears to users who are accessing it via their smartphone or tablet. Use a scale for this question, or reframe it as a yes\/no question by asking, \u201cDid you have a good experience with the website on your smartphone?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Do you think you had to click too many times to get to what you were looking for?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re hoping to find out how your navigation and page canonicalization works for your audience, this is a great question to ask.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oftentimes, if a user has to access too many different pages to convert, they&#8217;re going to end up leaving your website instead. Asking a question like this in your UX poll is a good way to determine if this is an issue on your website or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a simple yes\/no response for this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Did you find this page helpful or meaningful?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t want pointless pages on your website, and you definitely don&#8217;t want them to be a part of your customer journey or funnel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re noticing a page has an extremely low conversion rate, consider asking your visitors if the page is actually helpful or provides meaningful or valuable information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a simple yes\/no response for this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>10. On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate the clarity of the content?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a great question to ask on your blog\u2019s user experience poll. You want to make sure that people are getting value out of the content you\u2019re publishing. Otherwise, your content marketing strategy is all for naught.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>11. Do you think this content could have been shared in a different format?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, we have another question that could help you determine whether people enjoy their experience on your blog. If someone thinks your blog post could instead be a video, ebook, podcast, or another content type, you want to make sure you provide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>12. On a scale of 1-5, how would you rate your purchase experience?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include questions like this on your success pages. If you land a new customer, you want to make sure their purchase experience was as optimal as possible. Besides, you might have room for improvement that could result in even more conversions in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>13. How could we improve your purchase experience?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another ideal question to ensure the checkout process is as streamlined and smooth as possible. Some customers don\u2019t mind a bit of hassle if they\u2019re sold on buying from your company. Others will leave the checkout page, costing you a sale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making sure that your business\u2019s purchase experience is easy and uncomplicated is the key to increasing conversions and ensuring your customers don\u2019t run to your competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can offer specifics for your customers to choose from, or you can keep this as an open field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>14. Do you think the website took too long to load?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long load time is yet another reason many website visitors might hit that big red X and leave your website. In your UX survey, be sure to ask if anyone suffered long wait times when trying to navigate between different pages on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can be a simple \u201cYes\u201d or \u201cNo\u201d question in your poll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>15. What do you like most about the website?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here, you can pick between offering preset options for your customers to choose from or simply leaving an open text field for custom responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some options to include might be \u201cI liked the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engati.com\/blog\/what-is-live-chat\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">live chat<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> option\u201d or \u201cThe website design is visually appealing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking a question like this is helpful for understanding the good parts of your website that you definitely don\u2019t want to change, especially if other answers are letting you know there are some improvements you could make.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Tools to Create Your Own WordPress Poll<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ready to start creating your own WordPress poll or survey?
