The website markup tool that turns notes into ready work

A markup tool puts comments and corrections right on the content. A website markup tool does it on the live page, so feedback keeps its context and you skip the round-trip back from a flat screenshot.

Live page

Markup on the real site, not a flat snapshot.

In context

Every mark keeps its element and device.

To sign-off

Markup rolls up into a binding PDF.

Website vs. PDF

Marking up a website vs. a static image

Both let you comment on the spot. Only one keeps the live context of the real page.

PDF / screenshot markup

A flat, frozen snapshot

  • One fixed width, no responsive states.
  • Someone re-matches each mark to the real site.
  • Goes stale the moment the page changes.
  • No status, no rounds, no sign-off.

Website markup

The real, live page

  • Marks sit on the actual element.
  • Desktop, tablet and mobile widths.
  • Always reflects the current state.
  • Rounds, status and a documented sign-off.
What to look for

What a website markup tool needs

Collecting marks is the easy part. These are the features that actually shorten the project.

Pin comments on the element

Markup lands on the exact spot on the live page, not in a separate document that has to be matched back up.

Responsive widths

Mark up desktop, tablet and mobile views so a note on mobile stays on mobile.

Clarity built in

A markup that just says “fix this” isn’t enough. bepeq asks a follow-up when a note is vague.

Rounds and status

Markup is grouped into rounds with a deadline, and each point carries an open / done status.

No login for reviewers

Reviewers open a link and mark up right away. No account, nothing to install.

Sign-off record

When the markup is resolved, the round closes with a binding, timestamped PDF sign-off.

FAQ

Questions about markup tools

What is a markup tool?

A markup tool lets you place comments and corrections directly on top of content, so feedback is attached to the exact spot rather than described separately. For web projects, a website markup tool does this on the live page instead of on a static image.

What’s the difference between marking up a website and a PDF?

A PDF markup sits on a flat, fixed snapshot. A website markup sits on the real, responsive page, so it keeps the live context, works across device widths and reflects the actual state the visitor sees. For sign-off of a website, marking up the live page removes the translation step back to the site.

Do reviewers need an account to mark up?

No. With bepeq reviewers open a shared link and mark up in the browser, with no login and nothing to install. Only you, as the agency, need an account.

Can a markup tool handle a whole website, not one page?

Yes. A capable tool keeps multiple pages in one project so a reviewer can mark up subpages without juggling separate links, and you keep everything in a single, traceable place.

Feedback and sign-off in one place

Clients pin their feedback right on the live page, no login required. Revision rounds stay traceable, and the sign-off is documented as a PDF.
