PageProofer

Overview

PageProofer is a visual feedback and bug tracking tool for web designers and developers. It allows users to pin feedback, request changes, and report bugs directly on a live website using a sticky-note style interface. By streamlining the QA and review process, it replaces scattered email threads and spreadsheets, helping teams collect, organize, and act on website feedback efficiently.

Founder story

PageProofer was founded in 2013 by the team at DGrigg Development. The tool was developed to solve the persistent pain point of managing client feedback on web projects, which traditionally involved messy spreadsheets and unorganized email chains. By applying the simplicity of a sticky note to a live browser interface, the founders created a more intuitive feedback loop for development teams.
