Design Setup
Updated
On this page
The look of a survey is set by a theme: colors, fonts, buttons, background and logo. Apply a ready theme from the gallery or create your own on the Design tab.
Paid feature. Your own themes are available on the Basic plan and higher. Gallery themes work on all plans. Compare plans
Applying a theme from the gallery
- Open the survey and go to Survey → Design.
- On the Gallery tab (1), click a theme card.
The survey preview on the left changes right away. Respondents see the new theme after you click Publish.

Creating your own theme
- On the Design tab, open My Themes.
- Click New Theme. The theme editor opens with a gallery theme as the starting point.
- Enter the theme name at the top (1) and change the settings, for example Color presets (2) or Font (3). All settings are listed in the table below, and the preview shows every change.
- Click Save as a new theme.
The theme appears in My Themes and is applied to the survey. Changes in the editor are not saved until you click the save button. If you click Back before that, they are lost.

To start from a gallery theme instead, apply it, click the three-dot icon (⋯) on its card (2 in the first screenshot) and select Edit. Save the result with Save as a new theme: gallery themes themselves can't be changed.

Editing and deleting your themes
Apply your theme, then click the three-dot icon (⋯) on its card:
- Edit opens the editor. Click Save to update the theme. The three-dot icon next to Save opens Save as a new theme, Reset theme (undo unsaved changes) and Delete theme.
- Duplicate creates a copy with a default name and a number.
- Delete removes the theme after you confirm with Remove. Surveys that used it switch to the default theme.
Important. A theme can be used in several surveys. When you save changes to it, all these surveys get the new look. Respondents of an already published survey may see the old look until you click Publish in that survey again.
Adding custom CSS to a theme
- In the theme editor, click Add next to Custom CSS (or Edit if the theme already has CSS).
- Enter your CSS. The Theme variables and Element classes tabs list what you can use. Click an item to insert it.
- Click Apply, then save the theme.
For example, to make question titles larger:
.widget-title {
font-size: 32px;
}
You can also add code to the survey page in Settings → HTML code (Standard and higher). That code applies to one survey, not to a theme.
Limits
- The font list has about 250 fonts. You can't upload your own font.
- A background image can be up to 3 MB.
- Custom CSS can be up to 20,000 characters.
- In a shared account, applying and editing themes depends on your role, see Team Members and Roles.
