What are review widgets?
Review widgets are ready-made displays that show your approved customer reviews on your website. They turn real feedback into social proof that helps new visitors trust you and buy.

No design or coding skills needed.
Reviews update automatically from your connected sources.
Every widget can be customised to match your brand.
The 7 widget layouts
Grid Layout: a balanced multi-card grid with clear hierarchy and rich content.
Carousel Slider: a smooth slider designed for compact placements.
Avatar Widget: reviewer avatars first, with a rating summary and short quotes.
Horizontal Marquee: an endless dual-row scrolling banner.
Vertical Marquee: a dual-column vertical scrolling stream with fading edges.
