How to Add Testimonials to Squarespace
Adding testimonials to your Squarespace website is a powerful way to build trust with your audience and highlight positive experiences from your clients. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of adding and customizing testimonials on your Squarespace site.
1. Log In and Access Your Site
Begin by logging into your Squarespace account. Navigate to the dashboard and select the website you want to work on. Click on the “Pages” menu to choose the page where you want to add your testimonials. For this example, let’s use the “About” page.
2. Enter Editing Mode
Click the “Edit” button at the top of the page to enter editing mode. From here, click the “Add Section” button to add a new section to your page.
3. Choose a Testimonials Template
In the left-side menu, select the “Testimonials” option. Squarespace offers various templates for testimonials. Choose the one that best fits your needs; for instance, a template that includes text and images can be very effective.
4. Customize the Testimonials Section
Once the testimonials section is added, click on “Edit Section” to customize it. You can change the background to an image, video, or color of your choice. Adjust the colors to match your site’s design for a cohesive look.
5. Edit Testimonials Content
To modify the content within the testimonials section, click “Edit Content.” Here, you can enable or disable the section title, add a button below the testimonials, and upload images. You can also add alternative text for images to improve SEO.
For each testimonial, you can edit the text to include bold, italics, or underline as needed. To remove a testimonial, click the trash bin icon next to it. To add a new testimonial, use the “Add” button below the existing entries.
6. Adjust Design Settings
Explore the “Design” tab to change how testimonials are displayed. Options include switching between a list, slideshow, or carousel format. You can also modify column numbers and image sizes to suit your preferences.
7. Save and Preview Your Changes
Don’t forget to click the “Save” button to ensure your changes are not lost. To preview how your testimonials look on the live site, use the preview mode. This allows you to see how the section will appear to your visitors.
