Hi Lucy, I’ve had the ability here to approve comments but I’ve never implemented it. Although I do have something to catch spam which is always more of a problem that people being mean! If you ever want to move from Wix to WordPress there’s plenty of advice here to help you. I’m glad you found this article useful!

Thanks for the great tips! I’m going to bookmark this and try it out. I’ve been wanting to put something on my website where people can write their testimonials, but as I’m using wix.com, I am a little limited as there is no way to approve comments before they’re posted. With that in mind I didn’t want to have this idea backfire and have people posting mean things or anything with obscenities. I think this is a great idea and will definitely try it out. Thanks!

Hello Raham, I think it depends on your business or what type of site you have. If you have a normal e-commerce site with lots of differing products then testimonials on the different product pages would be a good idea.

If, however, like me, your site advertises your services (in my case, design and marketing) I would probably go for a separate testimonial page.

On the other hand, I could split them up with testimonials for print design, web design, marketing, etc., on separate pages. I’d never thought of that. Maybe one day when the business gets bigger!

Cheers.

Thanks for the info. I am trying to decide between placing our testimonials on one page or throughout the website. My thoughts are will people actually go to a page to read testimonials. I think people will go to the product they are interested in and then read a testimonial that is right in front of them. I think if the person has to search or go to separate page to read a testimonial you have lost the opportunity. If a person goes to a separate testimonial page they are already seriously considering hiring you and just want to confirm they are making the right choice. What are your thoughts.

Hi Neil, yes I think the photo is a good touch. It was difficult to ask for though.

Thanks, Kevin.

You are completely right about the power of testimonials ! I use Our Clients – an online tool that makes it easy to collect testimonials from your clients and keep them up-to-date. The testimonials are completely trustworthy thanks to the fact that not only you but also your clients have control on what is published. And testimonials have to be updated or confirmed every 12 months.

I really love the photo addition to the testimonials…I don’t know why that never occurred to me! They make them more real when we can see the face of the person behind the words!

Good post with some good tips. Thanks for doing this, it saves a lot of time foe people who may not understand the WHY of needing to have client feedback visible on their site.

Many things to learn from you here. There is nothing to disagree.

I liked the way you presented the content here. It is a multi-headed arrows and each hit the target perfectly. I come to know who you are, what you do, what your clients think about you along with the value of presenting testimonial in your site. It is a nice way of self-promotion with such a convincing context. Great work I liked it. I’m inspired by the style.
