It is not difficult, it is one simple stupid HTML, make it nice with CSS, form can be accepted and saved in file for later processing. Further there is free software for that, there are systems like Wordpres, Drupal and other website revision software. There is something like LimeSurvey for complexities: https://community.limesurvey.org/downloads/ You can survey in pure bash shell: https://blog.eduonix.com/shell-scripting/learn-cgi-scripting-using-bash-in-linux-shell-scripting/ I would do it in nothing else but Emacs to write the form, and to accept the form over CGI. It would then be stored as encrypted Emacs Lisp data in file, and later could be evaluated.
