Testimonials
Reader praise built from Ghost's product cards: a face, a name, the quote and a star rating, set in the theme's pull-quote voice.
Quotes from readers, clients or reviewers. Each one is a Ghost product card, which is the only card in the editor that carries a star rating, and Quiet restyles it into the same italic serif it uses for pull quotes.
Like the logo strip, the page body is the band.
Create it
#home-testimonialsGo to Pages → New page. The title becomes the small label above the band, for example Praise or Kind words.
In the body, type /product to add a product card. Fill in what you have (see the table below), then repeat for each person.
Under Tags, add #home-testimonials.
Publish.

The testimonials band
What each part of a product card becomes
| Product card field | On the page |
|---|---|
| Image | A small round portrait |
| Title | The person's name. Write Name, Role if you want both |
| Description | The quote itself |
| Rating | The stars |
| Button | An optional link out, to their site or the full review |
Everything is optional except the quote. A testimonial with no picture and no stars is just a quote, which is often the better choice.
The band's own fields
| Field | On the page |
|---|---|
| Title | The small uppercase label |
| Excerpt | One larger line under it |
| Body | The product cards |
Any other block you add to the body (a paragraph, a heading) spans the full width under the quotes.
Accessibility, handled
Ghost's product card leaves the portrait without alt text and the five stars unlabelled. Quiet repairs both on the page, so a screen-reader user hears "Rated 5 out of 5" rather than five unnamed images. Nothing for you to do.
The band needs a body
With no cards in the body, the band renders nothing rather than a label over empty space. The same applies if the page is members-only: signed-out readers see no band.
