Core Framework vs Reviso – Client Feedback & Approvals

Core Framework is a visual CSS framework and design-token builder. Define colors, typography, spacing, layouts, components, utility classes, and custom styles in one project, then generate the CSS used by your WordPress site. The plugin and all included integrations are free and open source. There is no license activation and no paid feature gate. Features Visual framework and design-token editor Fluid typography and spacing scales Color shade and tint generation Utility classes, components, layouts, and custom stylesheets Project import and export Gutenberg integration Bricks integration Oxygen integration Figma synchronization Integrations Enable the integrations you use from Core Framework → Add-ons. Gutenberg, Bricks, Oxygen, and Figma support are included with the plugin; they are not separate paid add-ons. Marketplace The Core Framework Marketplace sells optional design kits and packs. Those content products are separate from the plugin and are not required to use any Core Framework feature or integration. External services Core Framework works without a Core Framework account or hosted Core Framework backend. It makes an external request only when an administrator explicitly asks for one: The bundled font catalog is local. Selecting or previewing a Google Font requests CSS from https://fonts.googleapis.com. Importing it also downloads font files from https://fonts.gstatic.com, after which WordPress serves the saved font files locally. Requests identify the selected font family and variants; as with any web request, Google receives connection information such as the site’s IP address and user agent. No Google API key or Google account is required. Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Direct Figma-to-WordPress synchronization connects the Figma plugin directly to the user’s own WordPress site using a connection key created by a site administrator. Project data is not routed through Core Framework servers. Remote project import is optional and runs only when an administrator pastes a shareable project link or project ID and submits it. WordPress then requests that project from https://us-central1-core-framework-6bdc9.cloudfunctions.net/getPreset. The request is made by the server rather than the browser, sends no credentials, and the endpoint is read-only: it returns a project only when its owner has marked it as public. Nothing is sent unless an administrator submits a link, and no account is required to import one. Apart from the requests listed above, the plugin’s administration interface, image previews, project storage, CSS generation, and included integrations do not load assets from Core Framework servers. Core Framework does not contact a licensing server and does not require account activation. Licensing Core Framework’s original source code is licensed under the MIT License. Bundled dependencies retain their own open-source licenses. The release archive includes third-party-notices.txt for adapted source and artwork and third-party-licenses.txt for the complete production dependency inventory.

Reviso turns WordPress into a true client-collaboration tool. Reviewers (clients, teammates, stakeholders) leave pinned feedback directly on your live pages, no logins, no email chains, no PDF round-trips. It’s native to the Bricks and Elementor builders and the Gutenberg block editor, and works on any WordPress theme or site. Reviso is a visual feedback and website proofing tool for WordPress: clients annotate any element with a pinned comment, you action it inside your builder, and you close each round with a recorded sign-off, which cuts revision rounds. For wording changes, reviewers can go further than commenting. Suggest mode is tracked changes for websites: they propose the new wording in place on the live page, and you accept or reject it in one click, so you never have to work out what “can we reword this?” actually meant. Because every pin captures an automatic screenshot plus the page, browser, operating system and screen size, the same review link doubles as a lightweight bug report and QA channel for launch snags, without sending anything to a third-party service. What’s in the free version Pinned comments on any element: desktop, tablet, or mobile Threaded replies so a back-and-forth doesn’t sprawl across messages Status tracking: open, in progress, resolved, with filters Single-page review links: share one page at a time with anyone, no login required Works in maintenance & coming-soon mode: review links open the real page for invited clients even while Bricks or Elementor maintenance mode is on, so you can collect feedback before launch without taking the site public Admin-bar quick-review: spin up a review for the current page (or whole site, Pro) from the Reviso icon on the front-end admin bar Client approvals: reviewers can mark a page as approved (own admin tab, Reviso → Approvals) Email notifications when someone leaves a comment, replies, or approves a page, with optional burst-coalescing so a flurry of comments arrives as a single email Builder-native UI: the comment overlay adopts the look of Bricks, Elementor or the block editor so it never feels bolted on Element-anchored pins that survive page edits (three fallback strategies: DOM, content, position) Suggest mode: reviewers propose replacement wording directly on the page, like a tracked change, and you accept or reject each one (applying an accepted edit inside Bricks is Pro) Internal comments: pin private team-only notes on any page, including archives, listings and search results, and share a thread with the client only when you choose Emoji reactions on any comment, so “yes, agreed” doesn’t need a whole reply Optional reviewer email: clients can leave feedback with just a name Feedback dashboard: every pinned comment across the whole site in one list Automatic screenshots with page, browser, OS and viewport context attached to each pin Cache-proof review links: reviewer sessions bypass W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed, WP Super Cache, Cache Enabler and SiteGround Optimizer, so a share link never shows a stale page Review drafts and unpublished pages through a private link before anything goes live Close on finish: a review can stop taking new comments once the client marks it done, with one-click reopen Available with the Pro addon Reviso Pro extends the free plugin with: Multi-page Reviews: bundle a whole site (or any subset of items) into one shareable Review, covering any post type and templates Email-restricted Reviews: each invitee gets a private magic link, with four roles (Viewer / Reviewer / Approver / Lead) Apply suggested edits in Bricks: accept a reviewer’s proposed wording and Reviso writes it to the page, taking a revertable snapshot first and purging common page caches so it shows immediately AI: automatic comment triage (bug / design / copy / content) and AI-summarised feedback rollups Reviso Cloud (Beta): manage feedback and approvals across all your sites from one dashboard, and optionally connect your own AI assistant to help action it White-label: your agency branding on the review portal, with light + dark logos that auto-pick the right variant for each surface (portal, builder splash, email header) Integrations: Slack, Discord, and generic webhooks (Zapier/Make → ClickUp, Trello, Jira, …) Email digests: optional weekly summaries Advanced notifications: multi-recipient delivery, From/Reply-To control, printable approval certificates Audit log + per-reviewer revoke Concurrent reviews with configurable expiry, including a no-end-date option The Pro addon requires this free plugin to be installed. Privacy & data Reviso stores comment data on your own WordPress site. We don’t see your reviewers’ feedback unless you opt in to Reviso Cloud’s AI features (Beta), which relay the items the assistant acts on to getreviso.io (see External services below). Optional anonymous telemetry (off by default) is opt-in. Full details in our privacy policy. External services This plugin can connect to external services run by us (Reviso, getreviso.io). Each is opt-in and described below. Anonymous usage telemetry (opt-in). When, and only when, you switch telemetry on in Settings → Reviso, the plugin sends a small weekly ping to https://getreviso.io. It contains version numbers, which features are enabled, and a random install ID, and never contains your pages, your reviewers’ comments, email addresses, or any personal data. If you installed Reviso by searching inside your WordPress admin, it also includes the search phrase you used (for example “client feedback”), so we can see how people find the plugin; it is recorded once at activation, capped at 60 characters, and is blank if you activated Reviso from your plugins list. It is used to prioritise fixes and features. You can turn it off again at any time, which stops all pings. Terms: https://getreviso.io/terms-of-service/ , Privacy policy: https://getreviso.io/privacy-policy/ Reviso Cloud (opt-in, Beta). An optional hosted service that connects your site to a Reviso Cloud account so you can manage feedback across all your sites from one dashboard and, in Beta, let an AI assistant you authorise help action that feedback. It does nothing unless an administrator connects the site under Settings → Reviso → Reviso Cloud, and you can disconnect at any time. Baseline sync. While connected, the site sends usage metadata to https://getreviso.io: your site name and address, the account email, your licence tier, and review titles and counts. This alone never sends your feedback content, screenshots, or reviewer details. AI assistant (Beta). If you use the Reviso Cloud AI tools on a connected site, the specific comments, screenshots, page structure, and reviewer names for the items the assistant reads are sent to https://getreviso.io and relayed to the AI agent you connect; with your permission the agent can also write changes back (post replies, resolve comments, edit page content). Only what the assistant acts on is transmitted, and only while you use it. Terms: https://getreviso.io/terms-of-service/ , Privacy policy: https://getreviso.io/privacy-policy/
