Overview
Your homepage is your most visited page, and social proof placed there can lift trust and conversions faster than almost any other change. Feedspace offers several widgets that each shine in a different homepage role, from a trust ticker that greets visitors at the very top of the page to an immersive reviews section that shows the full depth of your customer feedback. This guide walks through the five widgets best suited to a homepage and explains exactly where each one fits.
Top Feedspace Widgets for a Homepage
Horizontal Scroll: Above-the-Fold Trust Ticker
The Horizontal Scroll widget is ideal for the very top of your homepage, placed directly above the fold so it is the first thing a visitor sees before they even start reading your headline. It streams review snippets and star ratings in a continuous, auto-scrolling band that communicates broad social proof at a glance without asking the visitor to stop and read. Because it spans the full width of the page, it signals scale and credibility instantly, making it one of the strongest trust signals you can add to a homepage header area.
Carousel: Hero Section Deep-Dive Reviews
The Carousel widget is best when you want visitors in your hero section to spend a moment with one complete, compelling review before moving on. Rather than skimming many snippets, the visitor reads a full testimonial with a name, photo, and star rating, which builds a deeper level of trust than volume alone can create. Place it just below your main headline and call-to-action button so that visitors who want more evidence before converting can find it immediately without scrolling far. The Carousel is the right choice when the quality and detail of individual reviews are your strongest selling point.
Avatar Group: Compact Trust Counter Near Your Headline
The Avatar Group widget is ideal when you need to add a tight, high-impact trust signal directly beside or beneath your hero headline without taking up much space. It displays a row of reviewer avatars alongside a customer count and average rating, giving visitors a quick, scannable sense of how many people already use and love your product. Because it is compact, it fits naturally inside a two-column hero layout or inline with a headline, where a larger widget would break the visual flow. Use the Avatar Group when you want social proof woven into your headline area rather than displayed in a dedicated section.
Floating Cards: Ambient Social Proof Without Interrupting Layout
The Floating Cards widget is the best choice when you want social proof to appear throughout the page experience without anchoring it to a fixed section. Cards drift gently across the viewport, surfacing individual reviews as visitors scroll, which keeps your existing page layout completely intact while layering in continuous trust signals. This makes it particularly well suited to visually designed homepages where a static review block would feel out of place or disrupt the spacing between sections. Choose Floating Cards when the goal is ambient reinforcement, reminding visitors at every scroll position that real customers are happy with your product.
Masonry: Dedicated Reviews Section Showing Volume
The Masonry widget is ideal for a dedicated reviews section lower on the homepage, where visitors who have read through your offer and want to see the full breadth of your feedback land naturally. It arranges reviews in a Pinterest-style grid that fills the available width and makes the sheer number of testimonials visually apparent, communicating that your social proof is deep as well as strong. Place it in a clearly labelled section with a heading such as “What Our Customers Say” to give it the context it deserves and to make it easy for visitors to find when they are ready to dig in. The Masonry widget is the right fit when showing volume and variety of reviews is your primary goal for that section of the page.
