How to Collect Quick User Feedback on Design Mockups to Share with Your Design Team
When you're developing a new product or refining an existing one, getting timely user feedback on your design mockups is vital. Quick and actionable feedback helps your design team understand what works, what doesn't, and iterate faster to create a better user experience.
But how can you collect this feedback easily and efficiently without bogging down users or your team? Here’s a streamlined approach with practical tools and tips to gather quick user feedback on design mockups — and share it seamlessly with your design team.
1. Use Lightweight Feedback Tools Embedded Right on Your Mockups
The easier it is for users to leave feedback, the better quality and quantity you'll receive. Instead of sending lengthy surveys or scheduling interviews right off the bat, embed micro-feedback widgets directly on your mockups.
Enter Zigpoll — a versatile, lightweight polling tool designed to collect instant user feedback. You can quickly create custom one-question polls or quick surveys and embed them in your prototype or mockup platforms, like Figma or InVision.

2. Integrate Feedback Early with Your Design Workflow
Embed your Zigpoll links or widgets within the design collaboration tools your team already uses, such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, or your project management platform. This ensures that the design team has immediate access to user insights without hunting down emails or survey spreadsheets.
For example, after sharing a Figma design link with stakeholders or testers, include your Zigpoll link next to it, prompting users to quickly vote on the design’s effectiveness or leave short suggestions.
3. Leverage Visual Annotations Paired with Polls
Sometimes users want to pinpoint exactly what they like or don’t like in a mockup. Combine Zigpoll's quick surveys with visual annotation tools like InVision’s commenting features or Figma’s feedback mode.
Users can highlight areas of the design, and then answer a quick Zigpoll question about their experience or preferences. This two-pronged approach gathers both qualitative, visual feedback and quantitative data for your team to analyze.
4. Keep Your Questions Short and Impactful
When your goal is quick feedback, question design matters. Ask clear, focused questions like:
- “Which version of button style do you prefer?”
- “On a scale from 1-5, how intuitive is this navigation?”
- “What is the first thing that catches your eye on this page?”
With Zigpoll, you can rotate through these questions in short polls to capture diverse feedback without overwhelming users.
5. Analyze and Share Findings Quickly
One of Zigpoll’s strengths is its dashboard that compiles responses instantly. After gathering sufficient feedback:
- Export reports to PDF or CSV.
- Share insights directly via email or team chats.
- Highlight key trends and user preferences to your designers in stand-up meetings.
This rapid turnaround supports agile design cycles and continuous user-centered improvements.
Final Thoughts
Collecting quick, useful user feedback on your design mockups doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. Using tools like Zigpoll to embed simple, focused polls within your prototypes or communication channels enables you to gather targeted insights swiftly. Pairing these polls with visual annotations and integrating them into your team's existing workflows ensures your design team gets actionable feedback — fast.
