Client website review brief: what to send before a review round
One short message that tells clients what to check, how to report and when, so feedback arrives complete and on time.
Short answer: send a brief before every review round: the link, three things to check, how to report, and the deadline. Clear asks get clear feedback; “let me know what you think” gets a week of scattered emails.

Subject: {Site name} is ready for your review (by {date})
Hi {name},
The new site is ready to review here: {staging link}
This round, please check:
1. Your text and contact details on every page
2. The {form / booking / shop} works from start to finish
3. How it looks on your phone
How to send feedback:
Tap Feedback in the corner of any page and write what you see. It sends us the page and a screenshot, so you don’t need to describe where you are.
Please send everything by {date}. We’ll reply to each note and walk through anything open on {call date}.
Thanks!
