Bugherd for wordpress websites: ‘On the page’ bug reporting & project collaboration for website clients.

With nearly 40 wordpress websites built in the last 12 months, including complex multisite networks, efficient maintenance has become a critical daily function at yourBusinessChannel.

For some time we’ve been evaluating ways to streamline issue reporting for our clients wordpress websites, and especially to eliminate all those back and forth emails.

Bugherd is a new innovation which allows our clients to report issues immediately on the webpage they are viewing, without needing to provide any technical information.

No more emails or screenshots!

Just ‘pin’ what’s broken and write a short note. Bugherd automatically records all the geeky stuff like what browser and computer you are using, what page you are looking at, and it can even take a snap shot. The error is delivered straight in to our support queue where it can be assigned to the right team member.

Importantly there is no need to do a followup email to see if its been fixed yet. You get updated as the issue is addressed, and all issues are saved in an archive.

Bugherd is also great to tap the power of crowd sourcing. You can allow visitors to easily report issues or make suggestions directly onsite.
