Paste the webflow.io staging link or the live domain and send one link. Your client clicks the thing they mean and types, no Webflow account, no comment mode to explain. The same link reviews the logo, the homepage concept and the launch video, counts the rounds you quoted, and records the approval.
Webflow's own comments are good. Workspace members comment on the canvas, a free Reviewer seat lets a regular reviewer comment without a paid seat, and a comment-only link lets anyone leave a note with a name and an email. If your whole client relationship lives inside Webflow, start there.
They stop at the edge of Webflow. The logo, the brand board, the brochure and the video the site launches with are not Webflow pages. There is no round, so round-three comments land next to round-one comments. There is no finish, no lock, and no approval recorded with a name and a time. And a comment-only link is still a Webflow view of the site, rather than the site itself at the width the client's phone shows it.
The homepage concept as a PDF in round one, the webflow.io staging site in round two, the live domain for the launch check. Same link, same client, same list of comments.
HopBack loads the staging or live site at its URL, in a real browser, at any width. The client clicks the hero, the nav, the footer, and the pin stays on that element when they switch to phone width.
Quote three rounds. Set three rounds. The client sees "Round 2 of 3" on the review, unresolved comments carry forward, and the fourth round is a quote rather than an argument.
Finish review locks the feedback. Approve records who and when. Publish to the custom domain with a record behind you.
Set a deadline and HopBack nudges the client in your words, on business days, and stops when they finish.
A pin has to be placed by a person looking at the page, so you get the client's own reaction to the specific thing, not a page of AI slop forwarded from an email.
No Webflow account, no Reviewer seat, no comment mode. They open a link, type their name, and click.
The webflow.io subdomain is enough; the site plan can wait until launch.
Set the rounds you quoted and a deadline.
The client opens it on any device and starts clicking.
The same link loads the updated staging site with the unresolved comments carried forward.
Connect the custom domain with the approval on record.
Most agencies land on Studio: reminders, Slack and Teams, video review and 30 active reviews. Start on Starter if it is just you. Annual plans get two months free.
Yes. Paste the staging link and HopBack loads it inside the review. You do not need a site plan or password protection to review a staging site with a client.
Use them for your team. For clients, HopBack adds the things a client project needs: the logo and the PDF concept on the same link, numbered rounds, a locked record and an approval with a name and a time, and a review the client opens without joining anything.
No. They open the HopBack link, type a name, and comment. Nothing to join and nothing to install.
Yes. Switch the review between desktop, tablet and phone and the pins stay on the element. Responsive issues get pinned at the width they happen.
The review loads the current version of the page. Pins stay on their elements. If an element is gone, the pin says so and keeps the comment.
Yes. Add the password when you create the review and HopBack uses it to load the site. Your client never sees it.
