The Single Testimonial widget is designed for high-impact social proof. Unlike grids or carousels that show multiple reviews, the Single widget focuses the visitor's attention on one specific, high-quality testimonial.
This hero-style layout is perfect for building instant trust at critical decision points on your landing page, such as right next to a checkout button or in the middle of a features list.
Key Features
- Hero-Style Layout: Features large, readable typography and a centered (or horizontal) layout that demands attention.
- Large Quote Icon: Includes a visually striking quote icon that reinforces the content as an authentic customer voice.
- Focus on the Individual: Prominent display of the customer's avatar, name, and company, humanizing the feedback.
- Customizable Aesthetics: Fully adjustable colors, borders, and typography to match your brand's unique style.
When to Use This Widget
The Single Testimonial widget is most effective when you want to "pause" the scrolling experience and highlight a particularly glowing endorsement.
- Hero Sections: Place a single world-class testimonial right below your main value proposition.
- Near CTAs: Place a focused review next to your "Buy Now" or "Get Started" buttons to reduce friction and build last-second confidence.
- Feature Spotlights: Use a specific testimonial that mentions a particular feature right next to that feature's description.
- Blog Posts: Embed a relevant review within a case study or article to provide immediate proof.
How to Embed
Getting the Single Testimonial widget onto your site is designed to be effortless.
1. Copy from Builder
In your Vauch dashboard, navigate to the Widget Builder for your Single Testimonial widget. Click the "Copy Embed Code" button. This will copy a specialized HTML snippet to your clipboard that includes both the container and the necessary script reference.
2. Paste into Your Website
Paste the copied snippet into the HTML of your website exactly where you want the testimonial to appear.
Customization Options
You can fine-tune every aspect of the Single Testimonial widget in the Widget Builder within your Vauch dashboard:
- Primary Color: Controls the color of the quote icon and the star ratings.
- Typography: Choose between standard, serif, or mono fonts with adjustable sizes for maximum impact.
- Background: Support for solid colors, gradients, or a completely transparent background for seamless integration.
- Borders & Shadows: Customize corner rounding (border-radius), border width, and subtle box shadows to create depth.
- Field Visibility: Toggle the visibility of ratings, dates, highlights, and custom fields (like company name or role).
Best Practices
- Choose Wisely: Select a testimonial that is concise but emotionally resonant or results-oriented.
- Use High-Quality Avatars: The Single widget features a larger avatar than other layouts; ensure the customer's photo is clear.
- Keep it Short: For maximum impact in this larger format, try to keep the testimonial message under 200 characters.
- Manual Selection: Instead of showing the newest testimonial, use the dashboard to "Pin" or manually select your absolute best success story for this widget.
