Overview
The Avatar Blocks widget in Feedspace presents reviews in a structured block grid where each card places the reviewer’s avatar and testimonial side by side, creating a clean and organised layout that feels easy to scan. Because this widget is built around a multi-column grid structure, screen size has a direct impact on how the layout reads. On desktop the grid can comfortably spread across several columns, while on a phone screen the blocks must stack into a single column so each individual card stays readable and the avatar does not get squeezed out of view.
The widget editor provides Desktop and Phone preview toggles so you can simulate both screen sizes before the widget goes live on your site. Checking both views lets you catch any stacking or spacing issues in the Avatar Blocks grid and make design corrections while still inside the editor, rather than discovering them after the widget is already embedded.
How to Preview Your Avatar Blocks Widget on Desktop and Mobile
Step 1: Open Your Avatar Blocks Widget in the Editor
Log in to your Feedspace account and click Widgets in the left sidebar under Share Reviews. Find your Avatar Blocks widget in the list and click the pencil (edit) icon on its card to open the widget editor.
Step 2: Navigate to the Customize Tab
Inside the widget editor, click the Customize tab. This opens the design settings panel alongside the live widget preview area. The Desktop and Phone toggle controls appear at the top of the preview panel on the right side of the editor.
Step 3: Select the Desktop Preview
Click the Desktop toggle at the top of the preview panel. The preview renders the Avatar Blocks widget at a full desktop viewport width. Check that the grid columns are evenly spaced, that each block card shows the reviewer avatar and testimonial text side by side as intended, and that card borders, star ratings, and reviewer names are all readable at this size.
Step 4: Switch to the Phone Preview
Click the Phone toggle to switch to the mobile preview. Use this view to confirm that the Avatar Blocks grid stacks correctly into a single column on mobile and that each block remains easy to read. On a narrow phone screen, the multi-column desktop grid must collapse so that each card takes the full available width. Pay attention to whether the avatar stays proportional to the testimonial text beside it, whether card padding provides enough breathing room, and whether the full testimonial is visible without being clipped.
Step 5: Adjust Design Settings and Re-check
If either preview reveals a layout problem, use the design settings panel on the left to make corrections. For the Avatar Blocks widget, common adjustments include changing the avatar size, card padding, column count, or card background color. After each change, toggle between Desktop and Phone again to verify the fix works across both views before continuing.
Step 6: Save and Proceed to Embed
Once both the Desktop and Phone previews look correct, click Save & Next to move to the embed step. Copy the generated embed code and paste it into your website to publish the Avatar Blocks widget.
What You Can Do Next
- Adjust the column count for desktop: If the Phone preview looks correct but the Desktop preview shows too few or too many columns, change the grid column setting in the Customize tab so the block layout fills the available space without looking sparse or crowded.
- Resize avatars for mobile readability: If the Phone preview shows avatars that are too small to make an impression beside the testimonial text, increase the avatar size in the design settings so each reviewer’s profile picture remains a clear and recognisable element in the stacked single-column layout.
- Customise card appearance to match your brand: Use the card background color, text color, border, and shadow controls in the Customize tab to style the Avatar Blocks grid so it integrates naturally with your website design, then confirm the result looks consistent in both the Desktop and Phone previews.
- Embed the widget on your site: After confirming the preview on both screen sizes, copy the embed code from the Share tab and add the Avatar Blocks widget to a testimonials page, pricing page, or any section of your site where a clean, grid-based review layout will build visitor trust.
