Introduction


Testimonials are a great way to display your agency's success across your website. The best part is, by default, they are displayed across multiple pages for maximum visibility! Reviews are awesome for confidence building in your potential clients mind.


If your on our top-tier of subscription, we can switch to the Google Reviews API for even more impact!


We hope this 'How To' guide is helpful but if you have any further questions, feel free to contact us at support@estateapps.co.uk.


Getting Started


To get to add testimonials:


  1. Log in to the CMS.
  2. On the left-hand side menu, click on 'Content' then 'Testimonials'.
  3. To add a new testimonial, simply click the blue 'Create' button on the right side of the page.









Adding Content


Basic Formatting


Be wary of using different fonts to signify header text etc. The problem is, changing the font from the default font of the site can cause the text to scramble and not look right on the site page. 


You may want to keep the default font / size throughout and use bold / underline if necessary.



You will need to avoid copying/pasting text from a Word Doc as this includes hidden text formatting and code. 

Instead, copy the text into a simple notepad or text file then copy/paste it into the CMS.






We also have the options of different sized pre-set headings (shown as ‘Heading 1’, ‘Heading 2’, etc under 'Format') which can be used, but you may need to ensure that the headings are the same on each page (blogs as well as other site pages) if you’d like a consistent look on the site. 



Title


This is where you will write the person's name who wrote the testimonial. We generally like to put a bit more detail into this though so for example - "Jimbob in Croydon (landlord)" - or perhaps - "Mr Smith who purchased a loverly new home in Bromley".


This field is mandatory.

 



Editing Testimonials


  1. Firstly, you will need to log in to the CMS.
  2. On the left-hand side, there will be a menu bar. Click 'Testimonials'.
  3. Next, click on the testimonial that you would like to edit - using the blue pencil icon on the right.
  4. This will take you back into where you add all of your content. From here simply edit whichever field of your testimonial that you need to - using all the information above to guide you, if necessary.



Deleting Testimonials


  1. Log in to the CMS.
  2. Click 'Testimonials' on the menu.
  3. Click the pencil icon on the right hand side of testimonial you wish to delete.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the page where the 'Save', 'Delete' and 'Cancel' buttons are.
  5. Click the 'Delete' button. 
  6. Then when the pop-up confirming the deletion appears, click yes.
