Our widgets offer three different templates. While there are many additional configuration options and each template is highly customizable, each template gives its own individual type of look. Choose the perfect layout for your poll with these three template options, each offering a different visual approach while maintaining the same powerful functionality.
π What is the Standard Template?
The Standard template provides a clean, centered layout that puts focus on your poll question and answer options. Unlike the Overlay template where your branding or image takes the whole background, or the Split template where there's clear emphasis on the image, the Standard template keeps visuals secondary to content. Perfect for professional environments or when you want the main emphasis to fall on the content (poll question & options).
Key characteristics:
- Question and answer options take up the main screen space, even when images are added
- Clean, stable background behind content area (dark & light mode options) - images never replace the main background like in Overlay template
- Adapts seamlessly with or without images

π· Standard Template Visual Examples:
- Standard Template Polls With images: Image positioned on left and right sides
π What is the Split Template?
The Split template divides your content into distinct left and right panels, with each taking exactly half of the screen. The image is always positioned on the left, while the poll content (question and options) occupies the right half. This creates visual layouts that highlight both imagery and content effectively.
Key characteristics:
- Content split between left and right sections: Poll content (question and options) occupies one half, image content fills the other half
- Strong visual impact with prominent image placement
- Great balance between visuals and functionality
