On the page
Comments pinned to the real element, not described.
No login
Clients annotate from a shared link.
Any device
Desktop, tablet and mobile widths.
Why annotating beats describing
Words about a location are a translation step. A pin on the element removes it entirely.
Unambiguous location
The comment is attached to the element, not described in words. No more mix-ups between “the top button” and the actual one.
No screenshot round
No downloading images, drawing arrows and emailing them back. Annotation happens on the real, live page.
No login for the client
A shared link is enough. Every sign-up step you remove raises how many stakeholders actually respond.
Vague notes get sharpened
The bepeq Pilot checks each annotation for clarity live and asks the client a follow-up before it reaches you.
Status on every point
Open, in progress, done. The client sees what you’ve taken on and stops asking what happened to their note.
Straight to sign-off
When the round is done, the annotations roll up into a binding, timestamped PDF sign-off.
From a link to ready-to-build notes
Four steps, no account for the client, and the context comes attached to every comment.
- 1
Share a link to the live page
Send your client a single link to the staging site. No account, no install. They open it in any browser, on desktop or mobile.
- 2
Click the element
They click the exact spot that needs to change: a headline, an image, a button. A pin drops right there.
- 3
Write the note
They type what should change. bepeq checks the note for clarity and asks a follow-up if it’s vague, so what you get is specific.
- 4
You get located, ready points
Each annotation arrives with its page, element and screen state attached. No decoding “the box up top”, just build.
Where annotation pays off most
What a good website annotation tool needs
Three things separate a real annotation tool from a comment box.
On the live page, not screenshots
A real annotation tool marks up the actual site, so the context is always live and correct.
Works on responsive layouts
Desktop, tablet and mobile widths, so a note on the mobile view lands on the mobile view.
Handles protected staging
A proxy or screenshot fallback lets you annotate password-protected or un-embeddable pages too.

readyQuestions about annotating websites
What does it mean to annotate a website?
Annotating a website means leaving comments directly on the live page, pinned to the exact element you’re talking about, instead of describing it in an email or on a screenshot. Each annotation carries its location and context, so the person acting on it knows precisely what and where.
What is a website annotation tool?
A website annotation tool lets clients and reviewers drop pinpoint comments onto a live site. Good ones cover the whole path beyond collecting: clarity checks, revision rounds, task status and a documented sign-off at the end.
Can I annotate a password-protected staging site?
Yes. A capable tool loads the page through a proxy or falls back to a screenshot mode for pages that can’t be embedded, so you can annotate almost any staging setup.
Do clients need to install anything?
No. With bepeq the client opens a shared link in the browser and annotates right away, on desktop or mobile, with no account and nothing to install.
