Tempo | How do I add testimonials to my website?

Adding testimonial quotes to your website is a quick and simple way of promoting your website to potential exhibitors, speakers, and attendees.

Note: The Tempo template is built on Classic Composer, so the panel and widget functionality described here applies specifically to Classic Composer sites.

⚙️ Steps to Add Testimonials

Step 1: Access the Testimonials Panel

1. Log in to the CMS and go to Panels.

2. Scroll down and locate the Testimonials panel.

3. Set a Panel Title — this will appear on the front end of the website.

Step 2: Add the Testimonials Widget

1. Add the Testimonials widget (if it isn’t already present).

2. Enter the content for each testimonial:

   • Quote text

   • Author name

   • Job title and company

   • Optional image of the author or company

3. To add more testimonials, click Add New and repeat the process.

Step 3: Configure Widget Settings

Click the Settings tab at the top of the widget to adjust display options:

• Text Alignment: Align text left, center, or right.

• Text Size: Choose from Normal, Large, or Extra Large.

• Auto: Enable automatic transitions or manual navigation.

• Autoplay Speed: Set the time it takes for one testimonial to transition to the next.

• Speed: Adjust how long each transition takes.

• Random Start: Toggle whether testimonials start in a random order or follow the CMS order.

• Pager: Adds pagination beneath the testimonials for user navigation.

• Controls: Adds left and right navigation arrows for manual control.

Step 4: Restrict Panel Visibility (Optional)

You may want to restrict the panel to appear only on certain pages, generally the homepage. Tips for setting panel restrictions can be found here.

Step 5: Set a Panel Background

1. Navigate to Settings > Design & Appearance.

2. Go to the Sections tab and scroll to Testimonials.

3. Set a background colour for the panel by entering a HEX value or using the colour picker.
