Testimonials

Testimonials allow you to display comments and feedback that you have received on your website. Adding testimonials to your website helps build trust, credibility, and confidence in what you offer.

Creating a testimonial

To begin creating your testimonial, go to Website > Pages, and select the page or template you want your testimonial to appear on.

Select the location you wish your testimonial to appear, and click on +Add Content.

In the window, go to Content > Collaborators > Testimonials > +Add Testimonial.

Add a title to save this content type as. Your chosen title will not be displayed on your website.

Then, add the text of your testimonial.

Next, optionally add the name, company of the person who the testimonial is from.

If you want to anonymise your testimonial, you can choose to hide the name of the author of the testimonial. Then, choose how this information is aligned, to the left, centre or right.

Then, choose how your testimonial will be displayed:

Image

To use an image as your background, select Image as your background style.

Select your desired image by uploading your selection,

Colour/Gradient

Select Colour for a solid colour background, or Gradient to choose a directional two-tone background. The colours available will derive from your Website Theme Colour Palette.

No background

If you prefer, you can choose to have no background. The testimonial will use the same background as the other parts of that section of your page.

Next, you can set the text colour of your testimonial.

Finally, you can choose to add a Google Ad via Google Ad Manager (formerly DoubleClick for Publishers). Click on the button +New DoubleClick for Publishers.

When you have completed your testimonial, click Save.

Creating a testimonial list

A testimonial list is a way to group multiple testimonials together in a detailed list, slider or tile formats.

To create your testimonial list, go to Website > Pages, and select the page or template you want your testimonial to appear on.

Select the location you wish your testimonial list to appear, and click on +Add Content.

In the window, go to Content > Collaborators > Testimonial List > +Add Testimonial List.

In the new window, provide a name for  your testimonial list. Then, choose if this name will be shown on your site. If you choose to display the name, select if this will be left, right or centre aligned.

Then, choose your list style.

A slider will move around in a carousel motion. When choosing slider, you can select if the slider auto plays, and if you want to display navigation arrows to allow manual scrolling through the testimonials.

Alternatively, you can select tiles or detailed, which will display your testimonials together using your preferred background style.

Finally, add testimonials to your list.

If you have already created your testimonials, open the section titled Re-use other Testimonials.

Select the testimonial(s) you would like to add to this list, and click Link Selected.

If you have not created any testimonials yet, first Save your progress, and re-enter your testimonial list. Then, click on +New Testimonial, and create your testimonial.

When you have completed your testimonial list, click Save.
