Choosing a poll template

What a template changes

A template changes the layout and visual treatment of the voting page — option cards, progress bars, spacing, colour. It never changes the data, the rules or the results, and every template is responsive on a phone.

The nine templates

Classic reads like a document. Card puts each option in its own frame. Colorful uses strong accent colours. Dark is a dark surface with light type. Minimal strips decoration. Focus enlarges the question and the options. Compact fits many options into a short page. Split uses a two-column layout. Soft uses pale tints.

Text mode and image mode

Both modes use the same template names but render options differently: text templates emphasise labels and percentages, image templates make the picture the main element. The picker shows a thumbnail for each, and View demo opens a sample poll built with that template.

Picking one

Choose by context rather than novelty: a classroom vote reads well in Classic or Focus, a photo competition in Card or Split, an event page in Dark. If the poll will be embedded in a light page, avoid Dark — the contrast between frame and page is jarring.

Changing it later

The template can be changed in the poll editor at any time and existing votes are unaffected. The editor preview renders the real template, so what you see there is what voters get.
