Add each customer quote once, with who said it, an optional photo and a star rating. Every Testimonials section on your site shows them, featured ones first. Who can do this: Contributors, Editors, Admins and Owners can add and change testimonials. Publishing them needs an Editor, an Admin or an Owner.

Before you start

  • Ask your customer before you quote them, and use their words as they wrote them.
  • To show testimonials on a page, add a Testimonials section too. See Testimonials.

Fill in the basics

  • Title: a name for the entry in your list, such as “Maya, puppy class”. Visitors don’t see it.
  • Quote: the testimonial itself, in the customer’s words. This is the only part a testimonial must have.
  • Author name: who said it, such as “Maya R.”
  • Author role / context: an optional second line under the name, such as “Puppy class, spring 2026” or “Daycare member since 2023”.
  • Rating (1–5): the star rating. It starts at 5, and shows only when the section’s Show star rating is on.
  • Featured: put this testimonial first. A Testimonials section can also show only featured ones.

Add a photo and a link (optional)

Open the Details tab.
  • Author photo: a headshot from your media library. Without one, the card shows the author’s first initial.
  • Author photo URL: use this only if the photo already lives on another website. An uploaded photo always wins.
  • Paste the address of the photo itself, not of the page it’s on. It usually ends in “.jpg”, “.png” or “.webp”.
  • To get it, right-click the photo in your browser and choose Copy Image Address (Copy Image Link in some browsers).
  • If you’re not sure, leave it empty.
  • Source link: a link to the full story, such as the original review. The section shows it as a “Read the full story” link. You can rename that link in the section.

Save it

To finish later, open More save options (the arrow next to the main button) and choose Save Draft. When it’s ready, choose Publish to show it on your site. Contributors choose Submit instead, and an Editor publishes it.

The order they show in

Featured testimonials come first. The rest follow in alphabetical order of their Title. To move one up, mark it Featured or give it a title that sorts earlier.

Use a different typeface on one card

The Fonts tab has Typeface for this card. Use it to set one testimonial’s card in another typeface. Leave it empty to follow the section and your site fonts. Add a row, and under Apply to choose Body text for the quote and the author’s name and role, or Everything in this section for the whole card. See Typography.

Try it with sample testimonials

Admins and Owners can fill a new site with 6 sample testimonials, to try out the Testimonials layouts.
1

Open Testimonials in the command palette

2

Choose Seed Demo Testimonials

You’ll see “Seeded 6 demo testimonials.”
The samples are published straight away, so any Testimonials section already on a live page shows them to visitors at once. Each sample quote starts with “DEMO TESTIMONIAL:”, so they’re easy to spot. They’re deleted on their own the moment you publish your first real testimonial. To remove them sooner, archive them in the manager. See Archive, restore and delete.

What happens next

A testimonial appears in every Testimonials section as soon as it’s published. Visitors never see drafts. While you edit a page, you also see draft testimonials, so you can check them in place.

Troubleshooting

  • Is it published? Drafts show only while you edit.
  • Is Featured testimonials only on in the section? Then only featured ones show.
  • Does the section limit how many show? Raise Maximum testimonials on the section’s Testimonials tab. It starts at 6.
The section decides which details appear. Open the Testimonials section’s editor and turn on Show star rating, Show author photo or Show author role / context. Star ratings are off by default. See Testimonials.
The samples couldn’t be added. Reload the page and try again. If it keeps happening, contact Fetchski Support.
