Hi Karoline,
I've used SurveyGizmo for my dissertation and can't recommend it highly
enough. Their save and return feature is full of customizable options,
including the ability to design an automated email message sent to
participants reminding them to complete their partial surveys.
The software seems to have mastered the balance between an intuitive and
feature-rich default interface and seemingly endless extensibility if you
want to tweak the UI using javascript and css (this can make it a handy tool
for not just surveys but also computer-based lab experiments). You also can
issue a secure link for your survey (using SG's server) or host the survey
on your own secure server. Another plus is that doctoral students can get
the full "enterprise" feature set for free if you submit a request for a
"student version" to their customer service department.
And no, they're not paying me to write this. :) I've just been continually
impressed with what I'm able to do with the software.
Best,
Matt
