Notable is a polished website feedback tool for teams
If you're part of the development team for a website project, it's important to keep tabs with all parties involved. It's necessary to get everyone's input, track progress to date, and synthesize the feedback so that the project can progress to completion. Some projects are straightforward and easy, while others can be insane at times. Either way, Notable is a great app to help streamline the process and keep the job on target.
Notable is a slick, online website collaboration tool that allows teams to get contextual feedback quickly from all of the team members. The app allows you to capture visual, code, and copy portions of a website and then annotate with your feedback, which you can then share with members of your team.
The app lets you capture Web pages three different ways: via a Firefox plug-in, by uploading images from a computer, or capture by URL from Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer. There's also an iPhone app that allows you to take screenshots and upload to your Notable account for note sharing.
You can add notes to your Web page capture using four tools: visual, code, copy and SEO. The visual tool will let you click on the page and you can type your notes on the screenshot. The code tool will switch views to the page code, and any note that you type will allow you to annotate and reference specific lines of code. The copy tool switches to view only the page copy where it has been highlighted and notes have been left for you and your colleagues to reference. The SEO tool selects the metadata and keywords view so that you can annotate directly within SEO.
Notable has a great interface that makes feedback visually accurate and forces those providing the feedback to be specific. It's a tool all members of a development team can use, whether they have technical expertise or not. I like the various ways that it allows you to receive and share feedback. You can export notes to PDF via a sweet PDF button, email, or a URL that you can assign to public or private.
The rate plans range from free for up to three users and 1 GB of storage, and they go all the way up to a maximum of $119 per month for up to 50 users, 50 GB of storage, and private URL's. Service plans are monthly and can be upgraded or canceled at any time.
The company behind Notable, ZURB, is an interactive design and strategy firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in the San Franciso Bay Area.
