Web Design Template for Design Feedback & QA

Managing web design feedback across multiple stakeholders—designers, developers, and project managers—can become overwhelming. Disorganized revisions, unclear feedback, and delayed approvals often slow down projects and impact launch timelines.

Common Web Design Challenges & How This Template Helps:

• Issue: Stakeholder feedback is scattered across emails → Solution: Centralized feedback & visual annotations.
• Issue: Slow approval process → Solution: Structured design iterations & organized sign-offs.
• Issue: Too many revision cycles → Solution: Clear task tracking to minimize misunderstandings.

Phases

Ensure a seamless review process by organizing your workflow into structured phases. Keep track of design progress, feedback, and approvals efficiently.

Key Phases & What Happens in Each Stage:

• Research & Discovery (Default): Project goals, client requirements, competitor analysis.
• Wireframing: Low-fidelity layouts, website structure, navigation planning.
• Prototyping: Interactive design models, user interaction visualization, functionality preview.
• User Validation: Usability testing, stakeholder feedback, user experience refinement.
• Client Review: Stakeholder approvals, design adjustments, final refinements.
• Final Approval: Design sign-off, preparation for development, handoff to dev team.

💡 Even with pre-configured Phases, you have the flexibility to customize them based on your web design workflow.

Types

Assign and track tasks to ensure a smooth design iteration process and effective feedback resolution.

Task Types & When to Use Them:

• Design Brief (Default): Define project objectives, target audience, and key requirements.
• Sitemap: Structure website navigation for an intuitive user experience.
• Wireframe: Establish page layouts and content placement for user flow.
• Information Architecture: Organize content hierarchy and site structure for clarity.
• Prototype: Develop interactive mockups to simulate user interactions.
• Brand Guidelines: Standardize typography, color schemes, and design elements for consistency.

Project Statuses

Track each stage of the design review process and keep everyone aligned on project status.

What Do These Statuses Mean in a Web Design Project?

• Project Initiation (Default): Define project scope, deliverables, and timelines.
• Wireframing: Develop and review structural layouts for the website.
• Development: Transition approved designs into front-end and back-end development.
• Testing & Review: Conduct user testing and gather feedback for refinements.
• Refinement Phase: Implement necessary changes based on feedback and final QA.
• Ready for Development: Approved designs are finalized and handed off for coding.

Views

Get a complete overview of your design workflow with flexible viewing options.

How Different Roles Use These Views:

• Designers: Use Kanban View to manage design iterations and revisions.
• Project Managers: Use Table View to track feedback, revisions, and approvals.
• Stakeholders & Clients: Use Task & Upload Views to review design files and provide annotations.

Integrations
