The Client Feedback Tool for Squarespace Sites
Stop chasing feedback over email and screenshots. With dotts, clients click anywhere on your live Squarespace site and leave precise comments. No Squarespace login or plugin required.
Squarespace has no built-in way to collect client feedback
Squarespace is great for building sites, but the review step is where freelance projects slow down. Clients send long emails with cropped screenshots, mention pages by guesswork, and forget which round of feedback they are on. dotts gives you one clear place where clients comment directly on the live Squarespace page, pinned to the exact element they mean, with the device, browser and screen size already attached.
Squarespace client review, before and after dotts
Long client emails with cropped screenshots
"Can you fix the headline on the homepage" which one?
Vague feedback like "I don't like the colors"
Multiple stakeholders, no shared record
Endless rounds, slow sign-off
One review link, no client account needed
Comments pinned to the exact section on the live page
Browser, device and screen size on every comment
@-mentions, file attachments, threaded discussions
Mark items as done, see what's still open
Built for the Squarespace client workflow
Paste the live URL or your Squarespace trial URL. Works with both 7.0 and 7.1 sites, no setup.
No Squarespace contributor invite, no extra account, no app to install. Just a link.
Every comment carries the device, browser and screen size. No more "where did you mean".
How freelancers use dotts on Squarespace projects
First client preview
Share the trial URL with the dotts feedback layer before the domain is connected. Get reactions to the overall direction in one place, not in a five-email chain.
Multi-stakeholder sign-off
Owner, marketing lead and a friend all leave feedback in the same thread. You reply, mark items done and bring everyone to consensus without forwarding screenshots.
Last-mile QA
Before pointing the custom domain, share a final dotts link and catch typos, mobile glitches and last-minute copy tweaks. Browser and viewport are attached automatically.
Three steps to feedback on your Squarespace site
Copy the URL of your live or trial Squarespace site and paste it into dotts. No plugin, no embed, no code changes.
dotts creates a review link. Send it to your client. They open it in any browser, with no account needed. How clients comment without creating an account.
Clients click anywhere to leave pinned comments. You reply, mark items as done and keep every request in one place.
How client feedback works on a Squarespace site
Paste the published URL
Copy the URL of your published Squarespace site and paste it into dotts. No plugin, no code injection, no change to the template.
Share the review link
dotts creates a review link. Send it to your client. They open it in any browser, type a name and comment. No account, nothing to install. For confidential projects you can put a password on the link.
Work through the comments and set the status
Every comment arrives with a screenshot, the browser, the device and the viewport. You reply in the thread and set the status to in progress or resolved. Your client sees that on the same link.
Published site, staging URL or password-protected?
| Situation | Works with dotts? | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Published Squarespace site on a custom domain | Yes | Paste the URL and you are done. No plugin, no snippet, no change to the site. |
| Published site on *.squarespace.com | Yes | Works by the same rule as a custom domain: what counts is that the URL is publicly reachable. |
| Site-wide password on the Squarespace site | Yes | This is the one password case that has been confirmed to work: the proxy passes Squarespace's cookies through unchanged, including the crumb cookie its password form needs. Your client enters the site password once inside the review link. |
| Editor preview or a link that asks for a sign-in | No | dotts fetches the page without a session. If the link leads to a login, dotts says so instead of showing a blank frame. Use a publicly reachable URL. |
| Site behind HTTP Basic Auth | No | Tested on 16 September 2026: the proxy passes the 401 and the authentication challenge through, but the browser offers no sign-in inside the review frame, so the page stays empty. dotts has no field for those credentials. Take Basic Auth off for the review and put a password on the dotts link instead. |
| Cookie banner on the site | Yes | Tested on 16 September 2026: the choice your client makes in the banner is stored on the review link and survives a page change, so the banner does not come back on every click. |
| Site behind a WAF or bot filtering | Not tested | Some protection systems block any proxy. That cannot be solved server-side with any guarantee. Try the link before you send it to your client. |
| Squarespace trial site | Not confirmed | Trial sites are not confirmed to work. The trial URLs we had for a test have expired, so there is nothing to check against. Share the published site for the review. |
Checked against the dotts app and proxy code on 15 September 2026 and re-tested through a live review link on 16 September 2026 (docs/platform-facts-2026-09.md). "Not confirmed" means we have not seen it work and do not claim it does. If you try it, tell us and we will put the answer here.
Squarespace feedback, answered
Yes. dotts works on any publicly accessible Squarespace site, both 7.0 and 7.1. You paste the live URL and dotts generates a review link that overlays the feedback layer on top of your real page.
No. Clients do not need a Squarespace account, contributor invite or any login. You share a review link and they comment directly on the page.
No. dotts requires no plugin and no code changes to your Squarespace site. It works entirely through a shared review link.
dotts works with any publicly reachable URL, including Squarespace trial URLs and password-protected sites if you share access. For fully private drafts, publish to a hidden URL and share that.
Yes. Besides Squarespace, dotts also collects client feedback on Webflow, Wix and Framer sites — the workflow is identical. New to this? See how to get feedback on a website.
What a review with dotts looks like
One link to share
Paste the URL of a live site, or upload a PDF or an image. dotts gives you a link to share, with a password if you want one.
Clients comment without an account
They type a name, the email is optional, and the Just browsing option skips even that. No signup, no install.
Every comment carries its context
Browser, device, screen size and page URL are stored on the comment, together with a screenshot that already has the dot on it.
Set the status, or have it set
Open, in progress, resolved. On Pro, Claude Code or Cursor read the comments over MCP, change the status and reply as doby AI.
Collect Squarespace feedback the easy way
Share one link, get precise comments pinned to your live Squarespace site. No client login, no plugin, no back and forth.
Yes, this is the one password case that has been confirmed. The proxy passes Squarespace's own cookies through unchanged, including the crumb cookie its password form needs, so your client enters the site password once inside the review link and then comments as usual.
No. dotts loads your published page through its own proxy and pins the comments on top. No plugin, no code injection, no change to the template your visitors see.
Yes, as long as the URL is publicly reachable without signing in. Trial sites usually are. A link that redirects to a Squarespace login does not work, and dotts tells you so instead of showing a blank frame.
