Client feedback on Wix sites

Share a published Wix or Wix Studio site for review with one link. Clients click the exact element and leave a note, and you get every comment in one list with the page and screen size attached.

Free for 3 projects. Reviewers never need an account.

Why Wix teams use HTMLAnnotate

Wix sites change a lot between screen sizes, and clients rarely say which one they were looking at. You send the site, and the feedback arrives as a mix of emails, phone screenshots and "the menu is broken" with no page attached. Agencies on Wix Studio and freelancers on the classic Wix Editor both end up spending real time working out what each note means before they can fix it.

Wix has its own feedback tools, and they are worth knowing. Wix Studio's Client Feedback and the Wix Editor's Get Feedback both let people comment without a Wix account, on desktop or mobile. Their links last two weeks, though, and the comments stay inside Wix. Screenshots and emails still creep in when someone wants to discuss a note, export the list, or hand fixes to a developer.

HTMLAnnotate works on the published site. Clients open one link, browse in Browse mode, then click the exact element they mean in Comment mode. Every note records the page, the view (Desktop, Tablet or Mobile), and their browser and screen size. You get labels, priority, suggested wording, Approve, CSV export and a Copy for AI brief, and links can last as long as the project does.

How it works with Wix

Three steps, about a minute.

Publish the site

Click Publish in the Wix Editor or Wix Studio. Use the free wixsite.com address or your connected domain. Comments are on what's published, not unsaved edits.

Paste it into HTMLAnnotate

Paste the published address and you get a review link in seconds. Every page of the site is reachable from that one link.

Collect the notes

Send the link. Clients comment without a Wix account, and you reply, resolve, label and export the comments when the round is done.

A full review round, start to finish

What a typical round looks like on Wix.

Publish and check access
Publish the version you want reviewed. If any pages use Wix's page password, remove it for the round, since the password window is a form HTMLAnnotate can't import. Wix Studio protects pages one by one, so check each page.
Create the review link
Paste the wixsite.com or custom domain address into HTMLAnnotate. Signed in on Free, the link lasts up to 14 days. On Pro or Team it never expires, which helps if the project runs longer than Wix's two-week feedback links.
Brief the client
Ask them to browse each page first, then switch to Comment mode. Point out the Tablet and Mobile views: Wix Studio's default tablet breakpoint covers 751 to 1000px, so tablet layouts often need their own notes.
Sort the comments
Label notes as Copy, Design, Bug, Question or Idea and set priority. Tag a teammate by email on the ones they should handle. Open suggested text changes to see the new wording live on the page.
Make the fixes in Wix
Copy for AI gives you every open note with the element, CSS selector, view and page path. Work through it in the editor, switching to the matching breakpoint for each note, then publish again so the review shows the update.
Sign off
The review fetches the published site fresh, so the client sees your changes. Resolve each note as it's confirmed. When the client presses Approve, switch comments off on the link and export the list as CSV.

Good to know

Password-protected Wix pages use a form and can't be imported yet. Remove the page password for the review round.
Only the published site can be reviewed. If you need comments on unpublished, saved changes, Wix's own feedback tools can do that.
Wix sites load a lot of script, so the first open of a review can take a few seconds.

Tips for better Wix reviews

Match the breakpoints

HTMLAnnotate's Tablet view is 820px wide and Mobile is 390px. With Wix Studio's defaults, those land on the Tablet (751 to 1000px) and Mobile (320 to 750px) breakpoints. Check yours if you changed them.

Publish before each round

HTMLAnnotate shows the published site, not your last save. Publish right before you send the link and after each batch of fixes, so reviewers never comment on an old version.

Check every page for passwords

Wix Studio sets passwords page by page, so one forgotten protected page can stop reviewers mid-round. Open each page's settings and remove the password before you share.

Use both tools if it helps

Wix's feedback links are handy for early, unpublished drafts. Switch to HTMLAnnotate for the published site, when you need Tablet notes, labels, Approve and an export to hand off.

Questions about Wix

Can my client comment without a Wix account?

Yes. They only need the review link. They give their name and email once, then click any element to leave a note, on any page of the site.

Does it work with Wix Studio?

Yes. Any published Wix Studio or Wix Editor page that anyone can open works. Paste the wixsite.com address or your connected domain, and reviewers can move between pages from one link.

How is this different from Wix's Get Feedback?

Wix's feedback links let people comment on desktop or mobile for two weeks, even before you publish. HTMLAnnotate works on the published site, adds a Tablet view, labels, priority, Approve and suggested wording, exports to CSV, and links can last indefinitely on Pro.

Can I review password-protected Wix pages?

Not yet. Wix's page password shows a form, which HTMLAnnotate can't import. Remove the password from those pages for the review round, then add it back.

Can I turn comments off after sign-off?

Yes. Each link has a switch, and existing comments are kept. You can still export them as CSV or copy the open ones for AI after commenting is closed.

Why does the review take a few seconds to open?

Wix sites load a lot of script, and HTMLAnnotate fetches the site fresh each time the review opens. The first load can take a few seconds, then reviewers move between pages normally.

Other website builders

HTMLAnnotate works with any page anyone can open in a browser.
