Features
Homepage
Presentation of the service
with a brief description of the functions and a quick
overview of the poll process.
The call-to-action “Create poll” is at the top of the page.
To make it easier to communicate the features, we developed a product video that is at the center of the homepage.
Cockpit
Create, start and edit a poll at any time – even at runtime.
All key functions (create questions, links for participants, result display and color selection) are centrally accessible.
The poll is controlled using the “mini cockpit” at the top. The functions are shown or hidden based on their status.
Admin Interface
Polls can be extended using the admin interface. The number of permitted participants can be adjusted manually.
Participants view
DirectPoll works on almost every mobile device and has been regularly tested with Chrome, FireFox and Safari.
Events
DirectPoll is widely used as a voting tool for BOSA, among other things. Over 16,000 polls were conducted in 2017, which corresponds to a monthly average of around 1,500.
