I've seen a good couple dozen web-based survey software packages, including
several that claim to write the cgi for you and help present the data
(definitely less work for Mother, if they function as advertised!). A
search in Yahoo, for example, yields a healthy 20+ links in "Surveys and
Polling." Prices range from modest to breathtaking, though most products
claim to be uniformly "full-featured."
For someone who has end-user Unix experience, a virtual webserver with a
fair amount of CGI access, and somewhat cramped time constraints, can
anyone who has gone this route recommend a good tool? I'm looking at a
survey with approximately 20 questions (some of which have numerous
check-all-that-apply selections), and am anticipating between 300 and 750
completed surveys.
