Creating a visually appealing testimonial section with star ratings is a powerful way to build trust and showcase client satisfaction on your website. In this guide, you’ll learn how to easily create and customize a testimonial section using the Hostinger Website Builder — no coding required.
Step 1: Access Your Website Builder
Log into your Hostinger account, go to your dashboard, and click Edit Website next to the site you want to update.
Step 2: Add a Testimonial Section
Hover your mouse between two existing sections on your page and click on Add Section. Scroll down and choose Testimonials. Select your preferred template — we chose the second option in this tutorial. Once selected, it will be instantly added to your page.
Step 3: Customize Text, Star Ratings, and Layout
You can easily edit:
- Section Title: Double-click and change the heading
- Star Ratings: Delete or copy stars (Cmd/Ctrl + C and Cmd/Ctrl + V) to adjust the rating
- Client Photos: Click the image → Edit → Replace → Upload a new image
To increase the height of the section, drag the height handle or use the section settings. You can duplicate individual elements (text, stars, photos), although bulk duplication is not supported.
Step 4: Edit Background Design
Click the background of the testimonial section and choose from:
- Solid Color: Pick any color you want
- Image: Upload your own or use free stock photos via Pexels
- Video: Add dynamic visuals by selecting a background video
Don’t forget to adjust overlay opacity and text color to ensure everything is readable.
Step 5: Publish Your Changes
Click Update Website to save and publish your newly designed testimonial section. Visit your live site to see it in action!
