How to Give Feedback Using Pastel

What is Pastel?

Pastel is a simple tool that lets you give feedback directly on your website design. Think of it like leaving sticky notes on a webpage - you can click anywhere and type your thoughts!

Getting Started

Step 1: Open Your Pastel Link

• Click the Pastel link your designer sent you
• The link will open your website design in Pastel

Step 2: Enter Your Information (First Time Only)

• Enter your name and email when prompted
• This helps your designer know who left each comment
• You only need to do this once

How to Leave Feedback

Method 1: Click and Comment

1. Click anywhere on the page where you want to leave feedback
2. Type your comment in the box that appears
3. Press Enter or click "Post" to save your comment
4. A small numbered dot will appear where you clicked

Method 2: Browse Other Pages

1. Click "Browse Mode" at the bottom of the screen
2. Navigate through your website like normal (click links, menus, etc.)
3. Switch back to comment mode to leave feedback on other pages
4. Click anywhere to leave comments on the new page

Tips for Great Feedback

Be Specific

• ✅ Good: "Move this button 10 pixels (or a bit) to the right"
• ❌ Vague: "I don't like this button"

Use Clear Language

• ✅ Good: "Make this text bigger and bold"
• ❌ Unclear: "This needs work"

One Comment Per Issue

• Leave separate comments for different changes
• This helps your designer address each item individually

Include Context When Helpful

• ✅ Good: "This color doesn't match my brand guidelines"
• ✅ Good: "My target audience might not understand this term"

What Happens Next?

1. Your designer gets notified automatically when you leave comments
2. They'll make the changes based on your feedback
3. You'll get an email when revisions are complete
4. You can review the updated design using the same Pastel link
