Praising.ai offers three distinct widget styles to display your reviews on your website: Carousel, Grid, and Pop-up. Each format serves different purposes and works better in specific contexts. Choosing the right widget style helps you showcase customer feedback in a way that matches your site's design and user experience goals.

Review the Carousel widget format (default view)
The Carousel widget displays reviews in a horizontal scrolling format, perfect for showcasing multiple reviews in a compact space. This format works well in headers, footers, or narrow sections of your website where vertical space is limited.
Switch to the Grid widget format
Click the "Grid" tab to see how your reviews appear in a structured grid layout. This format displays multiple reviews simultaneously in rows and columns, making it ideal for dedicated testimonial pages or wider sections of your website.
Explore the Pop-up widget option
Click the "Pop-up" tab to view the overlay display format. Pop-up widgets appear as overlays on your website, drawing immediate attention to your reviews without taking up permanent space on your page layout.
Access embedding options for your chosen widget
Once you've decided on your preferred format, click "Embed Widget" to get the code needed to add the widget to your website. This button provides the HTML embed code regardless of which widget style you've selected.
Tip: Consider your website's layout and traffic patterns when choosing a widget style. Carousel widgets work best for mobile-responsive designs, Grid widgets are perfect for dedicated review pages, and Pop-up widgets are excellent for capturing attention without disrupting your existing page structure.

After selecting your widget style, customize the appearance settings to match your brand colors and fonts. Test the widget on different devices to ensure it displays properly across desktop, tablet, and mobile screens. Consider A/B testing different widget styles to see which generates the best engagement with your specific audience.
