To add a ratings and testimonials section to your Webflow site for free, you can use third-party platforms that offer embeddable widgets or scripts.
- Services like Elfsight and Trustindex offer free limited-use widgets that can display Google Reviews.
- Visit elfsight.com/google-reviews-widget/ and click Create Widget.
- Customize the appearance, connect to your Google location, and generate an embed code.
- In Webflow, add an Embed element on your testimonials section and paste the Elfsight code.
- Some platforms require you to sign up for a free account before generating HTML.
2. Add a Free Testimonial Carousel via Embed
- Use testimonial.io or boast.io (free tier) to collect and style testimonials.
- These services allow you to embed either a simple list or a styled slider into your site.
- After creating your testimonials, generate the embed code.
- In Webflow, drag in an Embed component, then paste the script or iframe tag provided.
3. Collect and Display Testimonials with Airtable + Zapier + Webflow CMS (Free Stack)
- Use Airtable to create a form that collects user testimonials (Name, Rating, Comments).
- Use Zapier’s free plan to connect Airtable to Webflow CMS.
- When a new form entry is submitted, it pushes the content into a Webflow CMS Collection.
- On your Webflow site, create a CMS Collection List bound to these testimonial entries.
4. Manually Add Static Testimonials
- If you don’t need dynamic updates or collecting entries, build a section using Webflow's native elements.
- Add stars using emoji (★) or SVG icons.
- Use a Grid or Slider to rotate through quotes, names, and photos.
5. Embed a Free Reviews Carousel from Loox (if you’re using Shopify)
- If you run eCommerce via Shopify and use Loox (with its free review widget), you can embed Loox photo reviews widget in Webflow using Loox's script.
- This is usually done by inserting their script into the page’s Embed block.
Summary
To add free ratings and testimonials in Webflow, you can embed widgets from tools like Elfsight, display user-collected entries via Airtable + Webflow CMS, or manually build a static section. For dynamic solutions, combine free tools like Airtable and Zapier to automate content updates.
