Tuesday, October 6, 2009 by Caitlin Rawles
We on the Cvent Web Surveys Client Services team always encourages clients to customize the headers for their online surveys. By adding your organization’s logo to the header of your survey, you are essentially branding your organization for free!

Although some clients do choose to add customized headers to their survey design templates, many do not carefully consider the best option for HOW to add their header images. When add your header image to your survey, you have two options:

1. Select the option that says, Use my own header for this survey, and select your image directly from the graphics library.

2. Use the HTML Editor to add your header image.

There are numerous advantages to using the HTML Editor to add your header image, as opposed to the alternative option. My top 5 reasons for why you should use the HTML Editor as opposed to the alternative option are as follows:

1. First of all, you can use the HTML Editor to center the image on the page, resizing it as you like.

2. You can also use the HTML Editor to add multiple images, all included in one header banner.

3. The HTML Editor allows you to type and format text to be included in your final header image.

4. Using the HTML Editor, you can insert hyperlinks into your images and/or text so that they link to specific URLs.

5. Finally, you can include links to documents uploaded to your Document Library, if you add your header image using the HTML Editor. This would be particularly useful if, for example, you wanted to include a link to a statement regarding a policy change on the Welcome page. Including the link in the header would ensure that survey respondents would see it first and foremost when they access the survey.

As you can see, using the HTML Editor to add your header to your custom survey does indeed have its perks. In general, please take advantage of the HTML Editor throughout Cvent’s Web Surveys tool! As soon as you start working in the HTML Editor, you will undoubtedly agree that it's online survey software made easy. I bet it wont take long for you to start singing its praises as well.
