The 14 website feedback survey questions
A website feedback survey asks people who have just used your site what they came to do, whether they managed it and what got in the way. This one adds five ratings and a pick of the single fix that would help most. All fourteen questions are ready to edit in the free survey tool.
The visit (3 questions)
Why they came, whether it worked, what stood in the way.
- What did you come to this site to do today?Edit the options to your site's real reasons for a visit.
- Did you get done what you came to do?Everyone who answers No or Partly is your fix list.
- If something got in the way, what was it?
In their words (1 question)
One open box, placed before the ratings.
- In your own words, what would you change about this site?Read these before you open a chart.
Finding your way (3 questions)
Find it, follow it, understand it.
- The information I needed was easy to find.
- It was clear where to go next on each page I opened.
- The wording on this site made sense to me.Low among first-timers only? Look for in-house jargon.
Speed and trust (2 questions)
How the site felt to use, in the visitor's own words.
- The pages loaded fast enough for what I was doing.
- I felt I could trust this site.
What to fix (2 questions)
A check that something broke, then one fix to rank.
- Did anything on this site fail to work while you were here?
- Which one change would help you most on your next visit?Rewrite the options as changes you could ship.
About the visit (3 questions)
Device, first visit or regular, and one closing rating.
- What are you using to look at this site right now?Split every rating by this before you average.
- Is this your first visit to this site?
- Overall, how was this visit?The one number: the share who chose 4 or 5.
How to use the website feedback survey
Put the link where a visit ends: on the confirmation screen after an order or a sign-up, and in the footer of every page. The GOV.UK service manual asks its own teams for both.[1] Publish one copy of the survey for each placement, and each set of results tells you where it came from.
Nothing asks for a name or an email address. The written answer is the only optional question.
Start with everyone who answered No or Partly on question 2. Their blockers, their picks on question 11 and their written answers are your fix list, ranked by count. Report question 14 as the share who chose 4 or 5, and compare it with your last send.
Website feedback survey FAQ
What questions should a website feedback survey ask?
Ask what the visitor came to do, whether they managed it and what got in the way, then rate finding, following, wording, speed and trust. Add an open question about how to improve; the GOV.UK service manual treats that one as the minimum.[1]
Can I put the survey on my own website?
Yes. Link to it from your footer or a confirmation page, or embed it in a page of your own. Publish one copy for each place to keep the results apart.
How do I measure website satisfaction?
Report question 14 as the share of visitors who chose 4 or 5, then run the same survey after each change. For a score across the whole relationship, use the customer satisfaction survey.
Can I use it before a website redesign?
Yes. Run the identical fourteen questions before the redesign starts and again a month after launch. Identical wording makes the two results comparable.
