Editing Quote Blocks

Quote blocks display testimonials, endorsements, or notable quotes in an eye-catching carousel format. They're great for showcasing feedback from staff, students, parents, or community members.

Creating a Quote Block

Navigate to the Blocks section in the left-hand menu.
Click + Block.
Select the Quote style.
Enter a title (e.g. "What People Say") and click Create.

> Note: Quote blocks are available on the Creative website style. They are not available on the Classic website style.

Editing Your Quote Block

When you open a Quote block for editing, you can add up to 12 quotes that rotate in a carousel.

Adding a Quote

Your first empty quote item will be created automatically. Fill in:

Quote Text - The testimonial or quote content.
Author Name - The name of the person being quoted.
Author Title/Company - A secondary line, such as the author's title or role (e.g. "Head of English").

Click + Add Item to add more quotes to the carousel.

Tips

Use the Image variant for visual impact - choose high-quality portrait or landscape photos of the people being quoted.
The Colour variant works well with your organisation's brand colours for a clean, consistent look.
Keep quotes concise - shorter testimonials are more likely to be read by visitors.
The carousel auto-rotates, but visitors can also click or swipe to navigate between quotes.
