Testimonials can be very powerful for helping to establish trust and encouraging visitors to buy, sign up, fill out a form, or take whatever action you are after. For websites and online businesses testimonials can be even more useful than traditional businesses because visitors are often skeptical or hesitant to trust someone online.
Websites can display testimonials in different ways, and we’ll take a look at more than 20 examples in this post. Hopefully these examples will give you some ideas that can be useful for your own projects. Here you’ll find some that use video, photos of customers, quotes from reviews, and more.

When designing navigation menus keep in mind that creativity should not overpower usability. If visitors can’t figure out how to use the menu it doesn’t serve it’s most important purpose.
