Introduction

Even the most authentic reviews lose impact if presented poorly.
Good widget design makes credibility visible — and conversion measurable.

Annotated review widget highlighting color, spacing, and typography choices that inspire trust

1. Use Readable Typography and Spacing

Small fonts and cramped layouts make even genuine reviews look fake.
Leave white space and keep line lengths comfortable.


2. Choose Color Wisely

Use consistent brand colors, but keep stars bright yellow or gold — users associate them with credibility.


3. Highlight Authenticity Elements

Show profile photos, verified badges, and dates.
Widgets like ShowAllReviews automatically display verified origin markers (Google, Facebook, etc.).


4. Keep Loading Smooth and Fast

Performance equals trust.
ShowAllReviews widgets use lightweight HTML rendered inside optimized iframes that pass all Lighthouse checks.
