A client revision process that stays on the site

Bottom line: Write the revision process once. Reuse it on every engagement. The client’s job is to click the live page — not to learn your stack.

Revision rounds get expensive when feedback lives in five tools. The process below is the one Tweak is built around: one staging URL, one review, clients never install anything, and your team closes issues where they were filed.

The problem

Agencies often invent a new feedback ritual per client: Figma comments for design, Google Docs for copy, email for “the rest,” and a Zoom to decode it. Developers then guess which artifact is current. The round count goes up because the input was never attached to the shipped page.

Why Tweak fits studios and agencies

How it works

  1. 1. Name the environment. Tell the client which URL is in review (staging, not production). Put that URL in the kickoff email and do not change it mid-round without saying so.
  2. 2. Install once on your side. Your team signs in with GitHub, creates the review, and pastes the embed on staging. Clients never install the extension.
  3. 3. Set the rules of a round. One round = pins on that URL until you ask them to submit. Late Slack screenshots are out of band unless they include the review link.
  4. 4. Triage on a schedule. Your PM or lead reviews the hub, assigns, and replies in thread. Developers open the same issues in Chrome or via MCP.
  5. 5. Ship, then open the next round. Resolve what shipped. If the client needs another pass, start from the same review instead of a new screenshot folder.

Frequently asked questions

What do we send the client on day one?
The staging URL, one sentence (“click anything that is wrong”), and your deadline. Optional: the 60-second product demo. Do not send a PDF of the process.
Can multiple stakeholders comment?
Yes. Everyone with the staging URL or share link sees the same pins. You still decide who on your team assigns and resolves.
What if the staging site is behind a password?
Clients need that password to see the page — same as today. The embed runs on the page they can already load. Share links do not bypass your auth.
How is this different from Pastel or Markup.io?
Those tools are strong at project canvases and agency workflow chrome. Tweak is embed-first on the live DOM, with hub + MCP for the people who implement the change. See /vs/pastel and /vs/markup-io.
