Creating Multi-Page Surveys

Break your survey into multiple pages to improve organization, reduce cognitive load, and create a better experience for respondents.

Why Use Multiple Pages?

Benefits

When to Use

Consider multiple pages when:

Best Practices

Question Grouping

Group related questions:

Demographics on first page
Topic 1 questions together
Topic 2 questions together
Open-ended feedback at end

Page Length

Aim for consistent page lengths:

5-10 questions per page typically
Consider question complexity
Account for mobile users
Test completion times

Logical Flow

Structure your survey logically:

Introduction - Welcome and instructions
Screening - Qualification questions
Core Topics - Main content areas
Demographics - Background questions
Closing - Final comments, thank you

Always show progress indicator
Enable Previous button unless security concern
Clear page titles help orientation
Consistent button placement

Advanced Techniques

Piping Between Pages

Reference previous answers:

Use {{Q1}} syntax in page descriptions
Personalize based on earlier responses
Provide context from previous answers

Multi-Language Pages

For translated surveys:

Same page structure across languages
Language selector on first page
Consistent navigation

Conditional Endings

Different end pages based on responses:

Thank you variations
Resource recommendations
Next step instructions
Score-based messages

Troubleshooting

Add clearer page titles
Enable progress indicator
Improve navigation instructions
Simplify branching logic
