How to Add Testimonials to Your Framer Site

Your Framer site looks incredible. The animations are smooth, the design is polished, and your value proposition is clear. But there's one element that could dramatically boost your conversion rates: authentic customer testimonials.

Social proof isn't just a nice-to-have, it's essential. Studies show that displaying customer testimonials can lift conversion rates by over a third, and the vast majority of potential buyers actively seek out reviews before purchasing. Let's explore how to seamlessly integrate testimonials into your Framer project.

The Power of Social Proof in Modern Web Design

Framer users are typically building sites that need to convert whether that's SaaS products, agencies, portfolios, or digital products. Testimonials serve as third-party validation that your promises are real.

What makes testimonials particularly effective:

Authentic voice: Real customer language resonates more than marketing copy
Objection handling: Testimonials address concerns before prospects ask
Emotional connection: Stories create trust in ways features lists cannot
Conversion catalyst: Social proof at decision points reduces purchase anxiety

Integrating with Framer: Three Methods

Primary Method: Code Component (TSX)

Framer's Code component uses React/TSX, so we need to adapt the HTML embed code. Here's how:

Launch your Framer project
Navigate to your target page
Press Cmd/Ctrl + Enter to open the element picker
Search for and insert a "Code" component
Click the Code component on your canvas
Switch to the "Code" panel on the right

Replace the default code with this TSX template:

import { useEffect } from "react"

export default function VouchViewTestimonials() {
    useEffect(() => {
        // Create script element
        const script = document.createElement("script")
        script.src = "YOUR_SCRIPT_SRC_URL_HERE" // Replace with your VouchView script URL
        script.async = true
        document.body.appendChild(script)

        // Cleanup function
        return () => {
            document.body.removeChild(script)
        }
    }, [])

    return <div id="vouchview-testimonials-container" />
}

Your testimonials will now render properly on the canvas

Alternative: Page-Level Custom Code (Easiest Method)

For the simplest integration without writing any TSX code:

Select your page in the Framer layers panel
Click the page settings gear icon
Navigate to "Custom Code"
Choose "End of " (recommended)
Paste your complete VouchView embed code exactly as provided:

   <div id="vouchview-testimonials-container"></div>
   <script src="https://app.vouchview.com/testimonials/embed.js?id=YOUR_ID_HERE"></script>

Click "Save"
Your testimonials will now appear wherever you place the container div

Note: If you use this method, the testimonials will automatically render in the default location. To position them precisely, you can add an empty Frame on your canvas and give it the id vouchview-testimonials-container using Framer's HTML attributes feature.

Third Option: HTML Embed Component

Framer's native Embed component works with HTML:

Insert an "Embed" element via the insert menu (search for "Embed")
In the embed settings, ensure you're in HTML mode
Paste your complete VouchView embed code:

   <div id="vouchview-testimonials-container"></div>
   <script src="https://app.vouchview.com/testimonials/embed.js?id=YOUR_ID_HERE"></script>

Adjust the embed frame size to fit your layout
The testimonials will render within the embed frame

Pro tip: The Embed component method is great for quick testing, but the Custom Code method offers more styling flexibility.
