Revisions, reviews, and feedback are the most important tools for creating a good UI/UX of a website. Without a clear picture of what the client asks of you, a digital marketing team simply cannot produce a result that satisfies the bigger picture.

If you’re a part of a digital marketing team, you must know that almost every project every day goes through a routine cycle of revisions and feedback for web design. 

And while these may seem insignificant in the short run, cumulatively, a very large amount of time and motivation can be lost in the team resulting in a decline in office productivity and efficiency.

That is unless you use the right website review and web design feedback tools and complete revisions on projects like a PRO!

Website design of a company, or the UI/UX, is one of the most important tools for marketing in the digital world. 

According to a Stanford study, 75% of visitors agreed that they make decisions and judgments about a business’s credibility based solely on their website’s design.

The data show how important website design is to clients, so if you’re a designer or a digital marketer and wondered why many clients were extremely pushy and persistent when it came to web design, you have the answer now.

Consequently, with the importance of website designs, designers and digital teams are pushed to their extents to create a perfect UI/UX for their clients.

This involves a large amount of repetitive feedback, revisions, web QA, and website reviews.

Now let’s see how these factors can be dealt with in the most efficient and productive manner when dealing with clients.

6 Keys Of Feedback – How To Review Web Design Like A PRO!

How To Review Web Design Like A PRO

Before jumping in on how to leave feedback easily and proficiently on Webvizio’s website annotation tool, it’s vital to understand how to leave quality feedback to a designer.

Here are some key factors you should always take into account when dealing with web feedback and reviews.

Relevance

Before providing the designers with feedback for the UI/UX, even if that includes everything to be changed from scratch, always craft up a list to ensure your feedback is relevant and concise.

Too much fluff will only lead to demotivation and confusion in the designer’s mind, leading to poor quality of work and late submissions.

Build Trust And A Good Understanding In The Team

The most experienced designers can feel uneasy about difficult feedback. This is why every digital marketing leader needs to ensure that the working environment and motivation strategies are in place.

Make sure that your team knows that revisions, reviews, and critics, are a normal routine part of their work.. It is not a reason to get demotivated. In fact hefty reviews should be expected from the client on every submission.

Honesty

Always encourage honesty in website reviews and feedback,whether with designers or a client. 

In the initial meetings with the client, make sure you make them understand that your team works as a powerhouse on the honest feedback. Quality only comes only from honesty. And make sure the client knows that your team does not deal with revisions as demotivators to ensure the client never feels uncomfortable about their views.

Similarly, always ask your team to be honest when given revisions. If there is the feedback that they find confusing or wrong, they should be motivated to talk about it freely.

Ask Before Dictating

Even if you have a clear picture of what revisions you need on, for instance, a graphical cover photo on the website, instead of saying it out loud to the designer upfront, it is better to get their review first.

It helps bring up understanding between the client and the employees, ensuring smooth work between them in the future.

So, for instance, instead of saying ‘the cover photo needs to be bigger on the webpage’, try asking ‘what do you think of the cover photo’s size. Do you think it would look better if it’s bigger?’.

This doesn’t mean that your opinion is undermined by the expertise of the designer. No matter what the designer replies with, you will ultimately tell them to enlarge the cover photo. However, getting a better understanding of the designer can help greatly.

Design Audit

Precautionary factor: Before each assignment or review, make sure that you have a good understanding of the client’s website’s design audit.

This will bring up a theme of the graphical elements that would likely satisfy the client and lead to fewer needs for revisions.

Using A Visual Web Design Feedback Tool

Lastly,  but most importantly, use a web design feedback tool. One equipped with advanced technologies ensures seamless work between parties and visually provides 2-way feedback.

So, in short: get Webvizio.
