Choosing the Right Theme

Here's how to pick the best theme for your use case:

Use Default when...

  • You have a short form (5 questions or fewer)
  • You want respondents to see all questions at once
  • You're embedding the form on your website
  • You prefer a traditional form layout

Use Conversational when...

  • You have a longer form (10+ questions)
  • You want higher completion rates (one question at a time reduces overwhelm)
  • You're creating a quiz or interactive experience
  • You want to guide respondents step-by-step

Use Minimal when...

  • You want an elegant, high-end aesthetic
  • Your brand is minimalist
  • You have a short, focused form
  • Visual simplicity is a priority

Use Soft when...

  • You want a friendly, approachable feel
  • You're targeting a broad consumer audience
  • You want something less corporate/formal

Themes and Backgrounds

All themes work with all background options. You can combine:

  • Conversational theme + custom uploaded background
  • Minimal theme + solid color background
  • Soft theme + preset photo background

Mobile Responsiveness

All themes are fully responsive and optimized for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. The Conversational theme is particularly well-suited for mobile since it shows one question at a time.
