2. Testimonial options

After selecting the Testimonial component on any page that uses the Rochester Core plugin, you’ll be presented with the following options to customize the display and enter content.

Scroll down to the “varied width content” area and click “add module.” This will open up a list of all the components. Select testimonial and it will be added to the varied width content area.

Title

The field is where to add the title or headline of the testimonial. The title can be styled but the text will be bolded by default.

Content

The content block is where a description can be added below the title. Usually this would include a sentence or two describing what the testimonial content is about.

Background color

The testimonial component supports five background colors. These can be selected by choosing the desired color.

Style

The style option refers to two different display options for the testimonials.

  • Cards: Displays the testimonials in a grid layout that expands down the page as more are added.
  • Scroll: This style displays the testimonials in a horizontal carousel that can be scrolled through to see more. On pages where space is limited the scroll style is a great option.

Adding quotes

Pull quote

The main field of the testimonial component is the pull quote field. This is where to add the quote to the component. There is no need to add quotation marks here — they’ll be automatically added.

Attribution

To add attribution for the above quote, use the attribution field. This will automatically add and format the persons name below the quote.

Wrapping link

The wrapping link is an optional field that allows the testimonials to become clickable links. Click the “select link” button and add a link to the “url” field. This will then turn the testimonial into a clickable card.

Image

An image can be added to the pull quote for greater visual impact. Using a picture of the person saying the quote is a great idea! The recommended dimensions for the image are 1,230px by 820px.

Media placement

This option determines which side of the screen the image selected above will show on. This setting is only applicable if only one testimonial is being added. If more than one is being added, all of the images will be displayed above the pull quote. On a mobile device, the media will stack above the text content if left is selected, below if right is selected.
