Why your clients shouldn't need an account to give feedback
Every sign-up screen between your client and the comment box costs you a round of feedback. Here's why Easymarker asks reviewers for a name and nothing else.

You've finished the build. The staging link is ready. You send it to your client with a cheerful "let me know what you think", and then you wait.
Two days later the feedback arrives as a forwarded email chain, three screenshots with red circles on them, and a voice note recorded in a car. Half the comments point at things that have already changed.
The problem isn't your client. It's everything standing between them and the comment box.
Every extra step is a step someone skips
Most review tools were designed for the person doing the work, not the person approving it. So they ask the reviewer to:
- create an account and choose a password,
- confirm their email address,
- install a browser extension, or
- learn where the comment button lives.
Each of those is reasonable on its own. Together, they turn "two minutes of feedback" into a chore your client puts off until Friday. And when feedback does come, it comes outside the tool, because email is the path of least resistance.
The best review process is the one your client actually uses.
What we do instead
When you share an Easymarker link, your reviewer opens it and sees the live website. They click on the thing they want to talk about and type. The first time, we ask for their name so you know who said what. That's it.
No password. No inbox confirmation. No extension. The comment is pinned to the exact element they clicked, so "the button on the right" stops being a guessing game.
What this changes for you
When feedback is this easy to give, three things happen:
- You get it sooner. Clients review between meetings instead of saving it for later.
- You get more of it. Small notes that would never justify an email still get left.
- You get it in one place. Every comment lands on your dashboard, tied to the spot it refers to, with a status you can move from open to resolved.
If you've been collecting feedback through screenshots and email threads, try sending your next review as a link. It's free for your first three projects, and your reviewers will never be asked to sign up.
