Streamline Your Web Development Process with Site Comments

Madison Mohn • 15 July 2024

My website design is finished, now what?

Building websites involves a lot of moving parts, from internal team collaboration to client feedback. The complexity of these processes often leads to miscommunication and delays. That is why we use Site Comments. Site comments are a great collaboration tool designed to simplify and streamline the web development review process.

Benefits of Using Site Comments

  • Faster Review Process:

    By consolidating all feedback and communication into one tool, the review process becomes more efficient. This leads to faster go-live times, better client service, and more time for your team to focus on scaling the business. Who doesn't want that?

  • Enhanced Communication:

    Internal Team Collaboration: Site Comments allow our team members to communicate seamlessly and collaborate while working on projects. 


    Client Feedback: Clients can leave feedback directly on the site, eliminating the need for scattered communication methods like emails, messages, or phone calls. This centralization of feedback ensures nothing gets lost and everyone is on the same page.

  • Accurate Feedback:

    Comments can be attached to specific elements on the site, making it easier to understand and act on feedback. This precision reduces the chances of misinterpretation and errors.


How to Use Site Comments

Accessing the Comments Bar:

  1. The comments bar, located on the right side of the screen, controls all Site Comments functions. It can be minimized by clicking the X icon and reopened by clicking the comments icon on the top bar.
