What is the testimonials section?
The Testimonials section displays written statements from existing customers that praise or recommend items available on the store. The testimonials section in the Expression theme is highly versatile, offering the flexibility to be used for more than just customer feedback. Depending on what best suits the store, the layout can be customized to include or exclude star ratings, feature a single image, or display just text. Testimonials can be a powerful tool for building confidence and trust in potential customers.
How to set up the testimonials section
Steps
- Open the Theme Editor.
- On the left-hand side, click Add section and add the Testimonials section.
- Click on Add Testimonial or use one of the three testimonial blocks that are present on install.
- In the main section settings an optional Heading can be added. This could be a simple title, engaging text to capture attention, or left unused if preferred.
- In each block, select an optional Product to feature in the testimonial. This product can either blend with the rest of the section, or to make it stand out, enable the Show products in cards option within the main section settings. To adjust the background color, go to Theme settings > Colors > General > Mini collection & testimonial boxes background. Note that any color changes made here will also affect other areas of the store.
- In each block, use the star rating slider to choose the number of stars. If zero is selected no stars are shown. The color of the star can be changed in Theme settings > Colors > General > Testimonial and review stars.
- Insert some optional text in the Testimonial setting.
- In the Author settings, an optional Name, Subtitle and Profile image can be added. It is recommended to use portrait images for this. These will show at the bottom of each review.
FAQs
Can I use this section with a sidebar?
Yes, if a sidebar is used then the section is reduced in width on larger screens. The sidebar is available on the homepage, blog page and blog post page.
I was expecting to see three testimonials per row on desktop, but only two are showing. Why is this?
If the sidebar is turned on, then a maximum of two testimonial blocks will show per row on desktop. if you need three per row, then turn the sidebar off.
