Are you or your clients still printing out and scribbling on revisions of a web project to convey the changes you want? Sending countless e-mail attachments back and forth between you, your team and clients? New markup tools make it easy to provide feedback on design, content and code without ever leaving your web browser.

Solution # 1:

Notable.com – Complete Website Feedback / Project Collaboration SaaS ($44 per month)

Notable.com allows you annotate any part of a page, even if you’ve never touched HTML. Visually leave feedback where the actual problem appears within the site. In addition to doing inline feedback, Notable.com keeps track of who suggests what and tracks the history of feedback made from each team member / client contact.

Key Features:

• Add inline feedback for both website layouts and code
• Quickly and easily collaborate centrally or remotely
• Review feedback history to spot trends in mistakes
• Easily add additional people to review and provide feedback

Cons:

• May be too pricy for small web development shops (starting price is $44.00 per month)
