​
Display Types

Choose your presentation style:

​
List View

All reviews visible at once:
  • Shows multiple testimonials
  • Users can scan quickly
  • Better for 2-4 reviews
  • Takes more space
Auto-rotating testimonials:
  • Space-efficient
  • Continuous movement catches eye
  • Better for 5+ reviews
  • Adds dynamic element
Duration (Carousel only) Time per review in milliseconds:
  • 3000ms (3s) - Quick rotation
  • 5000ms (5s) - Comfortable reading
  • 7000ms (7s) - Detailed testimonials
Use carousel for mobile (saves space) and list for desktop (shows more social proof at once).
