Comparing different versions of a website is a common but tedious task for designers, developers, and marketers. Current solutions—like manual screenshots or generic image comparison tools—are inefficient and lack features tailored to web workflows. A dedicated tool for before-and-after website comparisons could simplify this process, saving time and improving accuracy.
One approach could be to create a lightweight, embeddable tool that lets users compare two versions of a website visually. For example:
This could be implemented as a JavaScript library or browser extension, with options to integrate with platforms like WordPress or GitHub later.
This tool could serve a variety of professionals:
Unlike generic image sliders, this tool could focus on web-specific needs, like DOM analysis or integration with developer workflows.
A simple MVP might start with core features—loading two URLs, comparing them with a slider, and sharing the result. Over time, features like diff highlighting, annotations, or automated snapshots could be added. To stand out from existing tools, the focus could be on:
Monetization could follow a freemium model, with free basic features and paid upgrades like automated diffs or team collaboration tools.
While dynamic content (e.g., ads or animations) might pose challenges, solutions like pausing animations or excluding certain elements could help. The key would be to prioritize web professionals' needs over generic comparison functionality.
