What are some options for creating a customer review/testimonials area on a Webflow site without using third party plugins?

To create a customer review/testimonials area on a Webflow site without using third-party plugins, you have a few options:

1. CMS Collection: Webflow's CMS (Content Management System) allows you to create custom collections of content, such as testimonials. Here's how you can create a testimonials area using CMS:

   • Create a new collection called "Testimonials" and add fields like "Name", "Job Title", "Testimonial Description", and "Image" (optional).
   • Design a dynamic collection template for testimonials using the collection's fields.
   • Add a dynamic list on the page where you want to display the testimonials and connect it to the "Testimonials" collection.
   • Style the list to display the testimonial information in an appealing way.

2. Dynamic Embeds: If you have existing testimonials hosted on another platform or in a different format, you can use Webflow's dynamic embeds to display them on your site. Here's how:

   • Copy the embed code for each testimonial from the external source.
   • Add a div block or container on your Webflow page where you want to display the testimonials.
   • Paste the embed code into an embed component or an HTML embed element within the div block.
   • Style the div block to fit your design and adjust any spacing or formatting as needed.

3. Interactions and Transitions: If you want to create a visually appealing testimonial section without relying on external content, you can use Webflow's interactions and transitions to showcase testimonials one at a time. Here's how:

   • Design your testimonial section with a slider or carousel structure to display one testimonial at a time.
   • Use Webflow's interactions to create a click or swipe trigger that advances to the next testimonial in the sequence.
   • Add the necessary animations or transitions to make the testimonial change smoothly.
   • Populate the testimonial content directly within the Webflow designer or using the CMS.
   • Style the testimonial elements to match your site's design.

These are a few options for creating a customer review/testimonials area on a Webflow site without using third-party plugins. You can choose the option that best suits your needs and design preferences.
