How to display "record successfully saved" in visualforce?

Hello,
I'm not a developer but have tried to create a visualforce page, that uses a standard controller, that inserts a record. The record inserted is master-detail to the opportunity object in SFDC.

The VF page works and saves the record as desired but I'd like to display a message to the end user that says, "Record Successfully Saved".

I'm afraid I need to create a controller extension to to this, which I do not know how to do. AND, if I have write a controller extension, I'll also have to write a test class, which I also do not know how to do.

Is this a basic request, and if so, could someone help me create the controller extension and test class? Please see below my VF page:


<apex:page standardcontroller="Customer_Survey__c">

Hello john,
A quick solution would be using javascipt pop up for displaying a success pop.

for example

<apex:commandButton action="{!save}" onclick="alert('Record successfully Inserted');" value="Save"/>

Great. If that solves your problem, please mark this as the best solution.

The Best answer doesn't make any sense, the alert message appears once you click the save button before the controller even executes. It just displays the alert message, Even if the validation error occurs alert appears and then the error message, instead you can use CONFIRM message  
ApexPages.AddMessage(new ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.CONFIRM,'Record Created Successfully.Thank you!'));

displays the message if the record is actually inserted and without error and don't forget to add apex pageMessage to display the message. 
<apex:pageMessages />

Am pretty sure many people know this yet, This would be helpful for newbie like me, who are looking for best answers :)
