Step 26: Create Testimonials Page
The testimonial page requires us to do two things: 1) Create testimonials and 2) Create a client list
You only need to create a client list if you want to show a client list like our demo website.
So before we create the testimonial page we need to create some testimonials.
Follow the steps below to add as many testimonials as you want (we will be adding three for this website).
On the dashboard, on the left you will see a link that says Testimonials. Hover over that and click Add New
Title the testimony with the name of the person or company
In the body, type in the quote or whatever the testimonial is
Below the contact section you can type in a Title/Role for the person/company if you want like “CFO, Google” for example
Then just add a featured image and click publish
Add a category name
Do this again to add additional testimonials
Once you’re done adding testimonials, we want to create a client list
So again on your dashboard, look over on your left and find Clients
Hover over clients and click add new
You can title your client whatever you want
We really just need to upload a featured image (logo)
Once you do that
Click Publish
Do this again a few times if you want a client list. You can add as many as you want but 5 seems like a good number.
Now we need to create a new page – title it Success Stories
Go to your dashboard and go down to pages > add new
Title the page About
Create a row > edit row > set row layout to 1
Click on Theme tab
Add 40 to top/bottom padding
Go to background image and select and insert a background image
Go to row layout and select full width
Push Save
Now click to add a widget and select the Visual Editor widget
Click edit within the widget and title it “What Our Clients Are Saying” then click done
Now create a new row and set the row layout to 2
Click to edit the row and set the Border bottom color to #d63737 and the Top/Bottom Padding to 20px
Then click save
Now add two SiteOrigin Video videos (one for the left row and one for the right row)
Click to edit each widget and make sure external is checked
Add a video URL
Click done
Now add another row for your testimonials and set the number of rows to 3
Change the % for each row to 33% and click Insert
Click add widget and select the Sydney FP: Testimonials widget ->duplicate this 2 more times or create two more widgets for each row (drag them over if necessary)
Click edit within each testimonial widget and make sure 1 is for number of testimonials to show
Then add the category name for the testimonial you want to show in that column
Then click done
Now add another row and set the row layout to 1
Edit the row and set the top/bottom padding to 30px and the background color to #efefef
Select Full width
Click save
Now add a widget and select the Sydney FP: Clients widget
Again, click edit and make sure -1 is for the number of clients to show
Now add another row and set the row layout to 1 – this is for our call to action
Click on the theme tab and put in 10px for top/bottom padding
Change the background color to #252525 and select Full Width for Row Layout
Then click Save
Now click to add a widget and select the Sydney FP: Call to Action widget
Click edit and type in your call to action. For this demo site we use “For a free quote to start working with us today.” and the link for the button “http://www.howtowebtutorial.com/contact-us” (we’ll make this page in a little bit). And the button is titled “Contact Us”
Do not click display inline with text
Then click done
Go back up to Step #21 if you want to add social media buttons on this page
Make sure to click the Publish/Update button when you are done. You can go to your homepage and see the changes :)
