Website Annotation Tool for Bug Reporting

Collecting feedback on a website should be straightforward. Someone sees a problem, they point at it, you fix it. But most of the time, feedback arrives as a vague Slack message, an email with no context, or a screenshot taken on a completely different screen size. You spend more time figuring out what they mean than fixing the issue.

A website annotation tool solves this by letting people pin comments directly on the page. Click where the problem is, type what's wrong, and you get a pinned comment tied to an exact location with a screenshot attached automatically.

What makes a good website annotation tool

The best annotation tools share a few things in common. Reviewers can leave feedback without installing browser extensions or creating accounts. Context is captured automatically (screenshots, browser info, screen dimensions) so you don't have to chase details. And everything stays organised by project instead of dumping into a shared inbox.

Most existing tools were built for large teams and come loaded with features you'll never use if you're solo. You don't need Jira integration, sprint boards, or seat-based pricing. You need someone to point at a broken button and tell you what's wrong.

How Lairo handles website annotation

Lairo is a visual feedback tool built for developers, founders, and freelancers who need simple annotation without the bloat. Here's how it works.

You create a project in Lairo and add your website URL. Then you either embed a lightweight widget on your site with a single script tag, or generate a capture link: a shareable URL you send to your client. When your client opens the link, they see your site with a feedback overlay. They click anywhere on the page, type a comment, and submit. That's it.

Every annotation includes a full-page screenshot, the exact coordinates of where they clicked, their browser details (user agent, viewport size, device pixel ratio), and even console errors if there are any. You see what they saw, no follow-up questions.

No install required: for you or your clients

With capture links, your client doesn't install anything. No Chrome extension, no account creation, no app download. You send a URL, they open it, leave feedback, and close the tab. Especially useful when working with non-technical clients who aren't comfortable adding browser extensions.

If you prefer the feedback widget embedded directly on your site (useful for ongoing projects or staging), it's a single script tag. The widget only works on domains you explicitly allow in the dashboard, so no open-origin security risks.

Organised by project, not chaos

Each project in Lairo is tied to a specific client or site. Feedback stays within its project. No messy global inbox where annotations from five different clients get mixed together. You can mark feedback as open, fixed, or closed, and delete items you've dealt with.

Built for the way you actually work

Lairo was built for solo builders. No enterprise workflows, no forced team abstractions, no seat-based pricing. You pay per account, and it doesn't matter how many clients you share feedback links with. The free plan gives you one project with 25 feedback items per month. Enough to try it properly on a real project before upgrading.

If you're a developer or freelancer tired of decoding vague client feedback, give Lairo a try. Send a link, get annotated feedback with screenshots, fix things faster. Pairing annotation with session replay helps agencies understand the full context, while specialised agency feedback tools can streamline your workflow.
