}Tips#
- Use 3 or 6 quotes in the grid style so the rows are full.
- For a single highlighted quote, use the carousel with one item, or the "quote" section.
- The field is "quote", not "text".
Editing it in the HTML files#
Each testimonial is a blockquote.testimonial: the text is the p, the name is cite and the role is the span after it. In the carousel, each quote sits in a .carousel-item, and there must be one dot button in .carousel-dots per item.
