Overview
Common Ninja's Community Sentiment widget is a two-option vote: visitors pick a side with one click and immediately see how the split is landing. It is lighter than a full poll and works well at the end of an article, beside a product launch or on a campaign page. You can add images or icons to each side, choose a layout and turn on vote validation to cut down repeat voting.
What you get
- A two-sided vote that takes a single click
- Live results shown as soon as someone votes
- Images and icons for each option
- Multiple layouts and skins, with full design controls
- Vote validation to reduce repeat votes from the same visitor
- Responsive design and custom CSS
Who it suits
Bloggers, publishers, membership communities, clubs and brands who want a quick read on what their audience thinks about one question. For questions with more than two answers, Common Ninja's Poll widget is the better fit.
Honest limits
- It only supports two options, and it is a quick pulse check rather than proper research, so do not treat the tally as survey data.
- It is an externally hosted embed, so it loads from Common Ninja's servers rather than from Squarespace.
- The free plan has monthly view limits; once a busy page passes the cap the widget can stop showing until you upgrade or the month resets.
- You need a Squarespace plan that lets you add code blocks.
How it is delivered
Sign up for a free Common Ninja account, build the widget in their visual editor, then copy the embed code from the Add to Website tab and paste it into a Squarespace code block. There is nothing to install on Squarespace itself and no files to download. The free plan is ongoing; paid Common Ninja plans are billed by Common Ninja and raise view limits and unlock extra features.

FAQs
FAQs
What does the Community Sentiment widget do?
It asks visitors to choose between two options with one click and then shows the live split of votes.
How do I add it to Squarespace?
Build it in Common Ninja's editor, then paste one line of embed code into a Squarespace code block. Later edits in the Common Ninja dashboard update on your site automatically.
Is it free?
There is a free plan with monthly view limits. Paid tiers raise the view limits and unlock extra features, so check Common Ninja's pricing page before using it on a busy page.
Can it have more than two options?
No. It is built for a two-sided choice. For more answers, use a standard poll widget instead.
Can people vote more than once?
Vote validation reduces repeat participation from the same visitor, which keeps the tally closer to real opinion.
Can I add images to the options?
Yes. Each side can carry an image or icon, and there are several layouts to suit an article or a standalone block.
