concept feedback closes: 3 possible alternatives
Conceptfeedback.com will be over on 31 March 2016.
After 7 years of successes the Concept Feedback team, has announced the upcoming end of their community feedback platform.
This is the official statement on their website :
“Seven years since we began, we have a difficult announcement to make. Starting today we would be winding down the services of Concept Feedback and it will be fully retired by March 31, 2016. Over the coming weeks we would be restricting access to creating new concepts and posting reviews.
For all our existing community users, we understand that you would like to retain the insights you have derived from the community feedback. To do so, you can go to a concept and click on the “Export” option on the top right corner. This should enable you to download a PDF copy of the reviews posted on the concept for your future reference.
We enjoyed helping the community in creating and sharing ideas to optimize websites and hope Concept Feedback was helpful in the optimization journey for each one of you. We learnt a lot on how websites are optimized and how feedback from designers, marketers and optimizers can be translated into guaranteed conversion wins.
Thank you for being a valuable user of Concept Feedback. “
What if you still want feedback?
Because we liked concept feedback service so much we feel pretty much obliged to suggest you 3 alternatives, that will allow you to review and reinforce the appearance of your website .
1) Criticue
The Criticue Project was born in 2013 in Poland, as a tool for creating feedback, very useful to professionals and businesses to evaluate and improve a website through suggestions on everything from graphic design to the messages within.
What’s the main feature of Criticue?
It’s the ease of use, you just need to write your Web site URL and a screenshot of the page.
You’ll get feedback from professionals who will assess and advise you about what to improve and how.
Criticue is not about taking but GIVING too
With criticue before you can get some comments you need to help other users, with appropriate comments and reviews, because only after the moderators will read your hopefully useful feedback, you will receive a credit to receive reviews on your site.
Clearly you must be prepared to receive both positive and negative feedback as well.
Constructive feedback will allow to really understand where to act and make improvements and where, I used this very service to help my website and it rocks!
You can to get in touch with your reviewers, but their identity is totally anonymous and reviews are confidential.
Here is an example of a very useful and in-depth feedback I’ve received.
You can get as much feedback as you need by reviewing other web pages with a minimum of 50 words and you can also evaluate the website with stars, just like a product review on Amazon.
What if you have no time to help others?
No problem! Criticue has an option for you to purchase has much feedback as you want!
Criticue rised in 2013 among the most interesting start-ups, and now it’ s become an accomplished platform in the world of community feedback services.

It ‘s a service that allows you to get feedback and advice from industry experts about your website, your brochures, your logo and your landing pages.
Once the user enters his website/logo screenshot , it will be evaluated by other users, but only for 5 seconds per test! But there’s more..users than are submitted your survey, so you can get focused answers about what they recall and what they think about this or that feature of your website.
