Block multiple votes via IP filters or cookies, choose how to display results, and change the colours and fonts for the page.

Also, the administrator must enable a workaround to create a personal access to the results page without having to vote.
- Pollmo: This is an extremely easy site to use, but has limited options. You can only give one answer and there are no options to add your own answers. You can embed on your own page or can use the hosted option.

- Vorbeo: This is another site that doesn’t host your poll which means you are required to paste this into a website or blog. Also, you need to vote to see the results. You can choose colours and size, but quite simplistic.
- Hanzo: This site allows some simple design choices as well as single or multiple votes. Results are given in a bar graph in percentage or numbers of votes. You can also set a start and end time for the voting. Easy and use and the poll can be embedded or hosted.

- Good Labs: Create a very nice pie chart or two circle Venn diagram. Label your items, adjust the overlap by clicking-and-dragging, enter a title, and choose your colour. It makes a very nice infographic-style chart. You can also save the diagram in the public gallery.
