What's in this survey form

This survey form uses every common question type in one place: an optional name and email, a number, a dropdown, a multiple choice question and an open comment box. Swap the questions for your own and keep the structure.

Field	Name	Type	Required
Name	`name`	Short text	No
Email	`email`	Email	No
Age	`age`	Number	No
Which best describes you?	`role`	DropdownStudent, Full-time job, Part-time job, Freelancer, Prefer not to say	Yes
Would you recommend us to a friend?	`recommend`	Multiple choiceDefinitely, Maybe, Not sure	Yes
What should we improve?	`improve`	Long text	No

The name is what each answer is saved under in your inbox and CSV export. To add, remove or rename fields, use the field editor above and copy the code again. Fields you add to the code by hand later are saved too, because Nisuform keeps every named input.

Customize it

Open a field in the editor above to change its label, type, placeholder, options or help text, make it required, or move it up and down. The Text tab edits the title, description, button label and the message people see after they send the form.

Pick a theme and an accent color in the preview and the styled code updates to match. The colors live in CSS variables at the top of the style block, so you can also change --nf-accent by hand later. The button, focus rings and selected options follow it.

Let people pick several answers

Use checkboxes that share a name ending in [], like topics[]. Nisuform saves the checked values as one comma-separated answer.

Keep answers anonymous

Remove the name and email fields and turn off IP address storage for the form.

Read the results

Export answers as CSV for a spreadsheet or pivot table. Forms built in the dashboard also get answer summaries in Analytics on Pro.

Spam protection is built in

Every version includes a hidden _gotcha field. People never see it, bots fill it in, and Nisuform drops those submissions without telling them. The JavaScript versions also send _elapsed, how long the form was open, so a form sent faster than a person could type is dropped too. Rate limits, link checks and duplicate checks run on every submission, and you can turn on Cloudflare Turnstile or Google reCAPTCHA on forms that get a lot of spam. Read more about spam filtering.

Works with any stack

The HTML version works anywhere you can paste HTML, including WordPress, Webflow, Framer, Squarespace and static sites. The React version is a component you import, and the Next.js version is the same component marked as a client component, so it works in the App Router and the Pages Router. The Vue version is a single-file component that also works in Nuxt, the Svelte version works in Svelte 5 and SvelteKit, and the unstyled Astro version ships no client-side JavaScript at all.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a survey form in HTML?

Wrap your questions in a form element. Use a select for dropdowns, radio buttons that share a name for multiple choice and a textarea for open questions. Then set the form action to a form backend like Nisuform, so answers are saved without a server.

Can I see survey results as charts?

On Pro, Analytics summarizes dropdown, multiple choice, checkbox, rating and number answers for forms built in the dashboard. On every plan, you can export the answers as CSV and chart them in a spreadsheet.

How many questions can a survey have?

Up to 50 fields per submission, with up to 10,000 characters per answer.
