Welcome screen

A welcome screen is the first screen of a survey, shown before the first question. It tells respondents who is asking, what the survey is about and how long it takes, and has a button to start.

Its pair is the thank-you screen at the end, which confirms that the response was sent and says what happens next. Surveys with screening questions also have a disqualification screen for people who don't fit.

How it works in SurveyNinja

• You add a Welcome Screen in Builder with the + button. It's available on the Basic plan and higher, one per survey.
• Its settings can show the Enter key hint, the number of questions and the completion time, which is estimated from the number and types of questions.
• Thank You Screens are also on Basic and higher, and a survey can have several. Logic decides which one a respondent sees. They can show the score, the completion time, share buttons or a button with your link.
• The Disqualification screen works on every plan.
• Without a Thank You Screen, respondents see the SurveyNinja thank-you page after sending.

All settings: Welcome, thank you and other survey screens.

What to write on a welcome screen

• Who runs the survey and why, in one or two sentences.
• How long it takes. The built-in estimate saves you from guessing.
• How the answers will be used. If you ask for names or emails, say so; see personal data.
• A short button text, such as "Start".
• Fit everything on one screen without scrolling, especially on phones.
