Cutting and pasting directly from the APA style expert's reply: To refer to a website generally, rather than anything specific on it, the APA style FAQ, at http://www.apastyle.org/learn/faqs/cite-website.aspx , says that it is sufficient to give the address of the site in text. No reference-list entry is needed. I think that this would suffice to cover your question about surveymonkey. You could put something to the effect of "We used surveymonkey (http:// [whatever the correct URL is]) to collect data."
And there you go. That one was easy because there is no reference list entry. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.

Very helpful :) It is frustrating, as a teacher, to try to cover all the rules when the rules are so mucky at times. Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
