Definitely try Qualtrics. However note that the free version is a bit limited: "...no access to the Survey Mailer (feature that sends survey invitations by e-mail), a maximum of 100 respondents, no more than 50 questions per survey and 2 total surveys with only 1 active at a time, and a limit of 2 blocks per survey..." http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/rc/qualtrics.htm
However you should check at your university to see if they subscribe to the full version of qualtrics, and if they don't then why not ask them if they can get a licence. The licence will cover X number of other researchers at York, so you would be doing all of those people a big by getting York hooked up with the full version of Qualtrics.
Hope this helps!

I second Qualtrics. When I’m not being a PhD student I have another ‘life’ as the survey systems manager for the Open University – Qualtrics is the tool that we’ve adopted for all student research. I’ve also used it for my PhD studies and I love how easy it is to set up complex surveys and get the results out to analyse in SPSS.
Good luck with the project!
Steph.

Without a doubt, qualtrics.
It lets you build as many blocks as you like with a free student account, it lets you control how many items are on a page, and it lets you see individual data (in excel form).
The customer help/guide is excellent and it also lets you measure reaction times.
I have also tried surveymonkey and surveygizmo.

What is the best free online survey you have found to pilot a study? I have about 200 items and need to be able to pull individual information out, and have over 100 participants.
Thank you for your help!
