That is why we offer a consulting option which allows a business to DIY survey but have their hand held through the process - we find that this is an effective 'middle-way'.

But you're right, this kind kind of free tool has some limitations.

Google Forms is better suited to internal data collection or very basic surveys. As Sheldon said they don't look the best and there are some better options out there.
