What is the best way to collect feedback and bug reports from clients while building Webflow sites?

TL;DR
  • Use visual feedback tools (Marker.io, BugHerd, Pastel) to capture comments with metadata directly on the Webflow site.
  • Enable Webflow’s built-in comments for team plans to allow in-design feedback.
  • Create a hidden feedback page with a form to collect structured reports and integrate with Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets.
  • Use a shared Google Doc or Notion board for structured tracking of bugs and feedback.
  • Encourage Loom recordings and annotated screenshots for clearer issue reporting.
  • Automate feedback collection via Slack or email using Zapier for better team collaboration.

Collecting feedback and bug reports efficiently while building Webflow sites helps streamline communication and improve project quality. Here are the best methods to achieve this:

1. Use a Visual Feedback Tool

  • Marker.io, BugHerd, or Pastel let clients leave comments directly on the Webflow site.
  • These tools capture metadata like screen resolution and browser version, making debugging easier.
  • Install by embedding a script or using a browser extension.

2. Enable Webflow’s Built-In Comments (For Team Plans)

  • If using Webflow’s Workspaces for teams, enable Comments inside the Webflow Designer.
  • Clients can leave notes directly on the design elements from within Webflow.

3. Use a Form on a Dedicated Feedback Page

  • Create a hidden “Feedback” page in Webflow with a simple form.
  • Ask for details like issue description, browser, device, and steps to reproduce.
  • Connect the form to Airtable, Notion, Trello, or Google Sheets via Zapier/Integromat.

4. Use a Shared Google Doc or Notion Board

  • If clients prefer a structured document, create a shared Google Doc or Notion database.
  • Include clear sections for bugs, design feedback, and feature requests.

5. Record Feedback Using Loom or Screenshots

  • Encourage clients to use Loom for screen recordings when they encounter issues.
  • Ask them to annotate screenshots with tools like Lightshot or Snagit.

6. Automate Feedback Collection with Slack/Email

  • Set up a Zapier automation that sends Webflow form submissions directly to Slack or email.
  • Use a dedicated Slack channel (e.g., “#webflow-feedback”) for quick team collaboration.

Summary

The best approach depends on the client’s preference, but visual feedback tools (Marker.io, BugHerd, Pastel) are the most effective. If those aren’t an option, Webflow comments, feedback forms, Notion docs, or screen recordings can also work well.
