• Who should use the Createsites.com Poll Creation System?
  There are many instances where a quick and simple on-line poll can be useful. For instance, if you run a club, you can create a simple informal poll to gauge support or lack of support for a particular initiative. If you are having a holiday dinner for your club for instance, you can get a quick survey of whether members want it at restaurant A or restaurant B. Createsites.com's new Poll Creation System allows you to do this and more.
• How does it work?
  Basically there are four steps:
  A. You register. You register for our service.
  B. You enter the poll question and answer choices. Using our simple interface, you tell us what the poll question is and what are the possible answer choices. For instance, to decide where to have the club dinner the question might be 'Where do you want the annual club dinner' and the answer choices might be 'Resaturant A' or Restaurant B'. We create the poll for you based on your information requirements and we tell you the Poll Page URL.
  C. You tell your visitors. Tell your visitors about your on-line poll. In the case of the club dinner, you would tell club members to go to the on-line Poll Page URL to vote. If you have a web-site you can have a link from it to the Poll Page URL. Another good way to make your users aware of the on-line poll is to include the Poll Page URL in all club posters and other advertisements.
  D. Users Complete poll. When your visitors complete the on-line poll, the information they input is tabulated and shown. When you are ready to see the final results, just login or go to the Poll Page URL and click Results.
