Editorial Testimonials Slider - Thumbnail Navigation

lock Export Widget This widget is available with Redesignee Premium

Build immense social proof with the Editorial Testimonials Slider, a sophisticated widget that redefines how client reviews are presented. Moving away from standard carousel designs, this widget adopts a premium, magazine-style layout where a large, elegant quote takes center stage, free from clutter.

The navigation experience is distinct and intuitive: a row of Author Thumbnails in the bottom-left corner serves as the primary controller. Users can click any face to instantly reveal that person's testimonial. Simultaneously, the author's name and role appear in the bottom-right corner, keeping the layout balanced and structured. This split-interface design is perfect for SaaS platforms, agencies, and high-end portfolios looking to showcase client success stories in a way that feels curated and professional.

Key Features:

  • Thumbnail Navigation: Replaces generic dots or arrows with a row of clickable author portraits, making the browsing experience more personal and engaging.
  • Editorial Layout: Prioritizes typography and negative space, separating the quote, the navigation, and the author details into distinct zones for maximum readability.
  • Smart Data Binding: The widget automatically pulls the author's name, role, and photo from the active slide's hidden data and displays them dynamically in the bottom bar.
  • Dark Mode Aesthetic: Designed with a sleek, high-contrast dark theme by default (fully customizable) to convey authority and modernism.
  • Dynamic Author Info: The bottom-right corner updates instantly to show the specific credentials of the person quoted, ensuring context is always clear.
