LimeSurvey allows users to quickly create intuitive, powerful online forms and surveys that can work for anyone from small business to large business. The survey software is self-guiding for the respondents. They have a cloud hosted option with free and paid tiers, much the same as SurveyMonkey, but there is also the Community Edition which is fully free and open source software which you can self-host. Apart from the freedoms that brings, it also means that any respondent data is also free from tracking and data mining by any 3rd parties.

In this video I tour through a sample survey that I created, where I run through the survey options, I also show how easily a new survey with questions can be started, and I end off with a run through the various general menu configuration options.

      Unfortunately not - that and business platforms like LinkedIn have been difficult to replicate for some reason. The only one I’m aware of is https://github.com/vutuv/vutuv which may be worth looking at. The challenge will be how many people are there as business networks especially rely on networking. But I Must look into it a bit more and also promote it myself.
