Abstract Although the use of web surveys is expanding widely, that growth is not, for the most part, being guided by concerns about survey error reduction. In this paper we discuss the use of web surveys in the context of four traditional sources of survey error–sampling, coverage, measurement and nonresponse. Fourteen proposed principles for the design of web surveys are examined with regard to the attention they give to each of these four sources of error, and the unique error challenges associated with the design of web questionnaires. The needs for these principles to be empirically tested and research to identify the most desirable web surveying practices are also discussed.
