Testimonials

Share real customer quotes with star ratings and product links in Vellmar's testimonials section.

Testimonials shows up to six customer quotes as cards. Each Testimonial block has a star rating from 0 to 5, the quote, the author's name and an optional product, which appears as a link next to the name. The section and the cards each have their own color scheme, so the cards can stand out from the background.

Best practices

  • Use real feedback, with permission. Only quote real customers, in their own words, and get their consent. Made-up reviews mislead shoppers and are illegal in many countries.
  • Keep quotes short. Two or three sentences per card are easier to read than a long review.
  • Link the product. A quote next to the product it's about helps shoppers act on it.
  • Set the rating to 0 to hide the stars for quotes that aren't reviews, such as press quotes.
  • Two, three, four or six cards fill the rows evenly on desktops. Five cards leave a gap in the second row.
  • For many reviews, use a reviews app and its app block on product pages instead.

Preset tips

  • Sorrel uses it on the home page with sand-colored Scheme 2 for the section and white cards.
  • Stars use the accent color of the card scheme, so they pick up your brand color automatically.
