Feedback by email is where websites go to stall.
“It’s the bit near the top. No, the other top.”
“See attached: screenshot-v4-FINAL-final.png”
“Did you get my voice note about the second paragraph?”
Three tools, four email chains, and somehow the wrong shade of blue still goes live. The feedback isn’t the problem. Where it lands is.
One link. That’s the whole workflow.
1
Send the link
Paste any live URL into Corkle and every project gets one share link. Send it to your client, their boss, the whole committee - anyone.

They corkle it
They tap to pin a note or draw a circle round the problem - on their phone, their iPad, their laptop. Name, email, done. No account, ever.
3
Work the list
Every note lands numbered in one list with its own thread. Reply, fix, mark it done - and watch the open count hit zero. That’s sign-off.

No account needed
No client logins. Ever.
Your client opens your link, types their first name, and they’re reviewing.
Every review tool that demands a client account loses the review: passwords get forgotten, invites expire, the deadline slips. Corkle removes the step entirely - so feedback arrives the same afternoon you asked for it, even from the least technical person on their side.

Made for fingers, not just mice
Pinning and circling treat a fingertip as a first-class pointer.
Half of client feedback happens on a phone - on the train, on the sofa, between meetings. Most review tools quietly give up on mobile, so clients fall back to screenshots and email. Corkle’s review screen is touch-first: big targets, smooth drawing, no pinching your way around a desktop interface.
Circle what you can’t describe
Some feedback is a shape, not a sentence. Draw it.
“The spacing feels off around there” is real feedback - it just can’t be typed. Force clients to describe what they mean and you get vague paragraphs; hand them a red pen and they show you in two seconds. The circle stays exactly where they drew it, attached to its own note and thread.

Can we warm up this hero image? Feels a bit corporate for us.

Good shout - trying a warmer shot today.
Numbered pins, threaded replies
Every note has a number, a fixed home on the page, and its own conversation.
Email feedback dies by scattering: the logo note in one message, the typo in a voice memo, decisions buried in reply-alls. In Corkle nothing floats - each note is anchored to the pixel it’s about, and the discussion lives on the note, not in four inboxes. Nothing competes, nothing repeats, nothing disappears.

New note on Hartley & Co
“Can we warm up this hero image?” - Dan (guest)

Email updates that deep-link
One click lands you on the exact pixel the note is about.
Tools you have to remember to check become tools you abandon. Corkle comes to you instead: a new note, a reply, a completion - one email, one click, and you’re standing on the spot in question. Batched sensibly, so a lively review round doesn’t carpet-bomb your inbox.

Done means done
When the open count hits zero, that’s sign-off - in writing.
Projects drag because nobody can say what’s actually left. Corkle’s open count is the one number both sides trust: every note gets marked completed, the count falls, and zero means the round is finished - with every decision on the record. No “I thought we’d agreed...” three weeks later.
Your clients will never see a login screen.
The fastest way to kill a review round is “please create an account”. Corkle guests open your link, type their first name, and they’re reviewing in seconds - on whatever device is in their hand.
Unlimited guests on every project. Their notes carry their name, so you always know who said what.
