Meet the New WPForms Ranking Field – Find Out What Your Audience Wants Most!

Here’s an uncomfortable truth about survey forms.

You ask your audience to rate five ideas from 1 to 5. You collect hundreds of responses. You sit down to analyze the data and… everything scores between 3.8 and 4.2.

What you need is a question where something has to win.

That’s why today, I’m excited to announce something that will completely change how you collect preference data.
