.quotes — testimonial layouts

Quote and client name only. Those are the two fields a testimonial record actually holds (post_title and post_content), and by Adi’s decision of 2026-08-21 the section uses nothing else from the record — no matter type, no lawyer attribution. Every option below is therefore buildable against the data as it stands today, with no new fields and no invented metadata.

What the database holds: 10 published testimonials, of which the homepage shows one, inside a slider — the same fault the old facts block had. Lengths run 165–634 characters, so equal-height cards either crop the long ones or leave holes under the short ones. The options answer that differently: T4 lets each card be as tall as its quote, T3 pairs one long with three short, T2 uses only short ones so the cards sit level. The initials in the hexagon are derived from the client’s name — not a new field.

Still needs cleaning in wp-admin, whichever layout wins: one record (“Susan Dubois”) contains raw Google review HTML pasted into the body; the names are inconsistent as data (MC C signed “Marguerite Chin”, LESLEY BELLAS in caps); and several quotes carry the client’s signature inside the text, so printing the name as well shows it twice — the options trim it, WordPress should store it separately.

The five stars are shown by decision, not by data. No rating is stored on any testimonial, so every review displays the same five stars. That is truthful only while every published testimonial is genuinely a 5-star review — the moment a 4-star one is added, the section needs a Rating field instead of a fixed row of stars.

T6 has been removed. It attributed each review to the lawyer it names, which needs a Lawyer relationship field that does not exist; with quote and name only, it has nothing to stand on. It is preserved in prototyping/quotes-options-v3-source-disclosed.html if that field is ever added.
T1Baseline — one quote in a slider 500pxThe current section: 60% photograph, one of ten reviews, arrows. Stars kept here only because they are on the live site — they are decoration, not data.

What our clients say about us:

We were first introduced to League and Williams when our boat (our summer family home) was destroyed. Our insurance company declined our claim leaving us emotionally and financially devastated. Darren Williams critically analyzed our circumstances and his tenacious efforts resulted in us receiving our full insurance payout. Thank you to Darren and the awesome League and Williams team.

T2Three cards ~520pxThree short reviews at once, each with the client’s initials in a hexagon. The plain modern answer, and it uses only the short testimonials so the cards sit level.

T3Lead story + rail ~500pxOne long testimonial at reading size against the near-black, three short ones beside it. Uses the length difference instead of fighting it: the story persuades, the short ones show it was not a one-off.

I was searching for advice regarding my situation (road hazard accident). Darren Williams was the best from a dozen lawyers I've been trying to contact. He responded very quickly with a straight guidance and his explanation helped a lot. Very professional, helpful, and careful. Highly recommended.

T4Wall — eight at once ~760pxA three-column wall where each card is as tall as its own quote, edge colours cycling through the palette. Shows nearly everything the firm has, and the uneven lengths become texture rather than a problem.

You can count on Robert Graham. He responds promptly to your questions and concerns and he is very practical, realistic and honest in his approach. I highly recommend Robert for his strong sense of duty to provide expert legal advice, which speaks volumes about the kind of person Robert is and about his degree of excellence as a Lawyer.

I have felt a genuine sense of interest in seeing that my matter with ICBC is handled in the best way possible. Darren makes sure that all of my questions are answered and concerns addressed each time we meet. If he doesn't have an answer for me, he tells me when he will have one and he follows up promptly.

So this is the honest truth, I hope that I am not an executor very often. Recently, I had the good fortune of working with Darren Williams and his knowledge, advice and on-going support were instrumental in maintaining the will as it was intended after a significant complication arose. I highly recommend Darren Williams for all estate matters.

T5Photo split, two quotes ~520pxThe shape the client already approved — photograph beside an orange panel — with the slider replaced by two reviews always visible. The most conservative move.

T7Quiet editorial ~460pxOne review at display size on off-white, hexagon markers standing for the other seven, and a door to the rest. The most restrained, and the closest to “modern, clean, sharp” with no decoration at all.

T8Same pattern as the facts block ~520pxFour reviews listed against the brown panel with the first lit — deliberately the K13·S2 structure already chosen for LaW Facts. Consider only if repeating that pattern reads as a system rather than as the page doing one trick twice.

QMThe quote mark — four treatments defect fixAdi, 2026-08-23: the quote mark on the T2 cards does not read as a quote mark. Three causes stack up, and only one of them is the glyph. (1) Contrast. #E6E1DA on white is about 1.26:1 — effectively invisible, so whatever shape is there never resolves. (2) Size. 40px is too big to be punctuation and too small to be an ornament; it lands in the gap where it reads as neither. (3) The face. Raleway is a geometric sans and its quote marks are drawn as angular wedges rather than the curly comma shape the eye recognises as a quotation. Four treatments below, same card and same text, only the mark changing. b is the one applied to home-v2.html — and it carries a declaration: Georgia is not in the brand system. Setting one punctuation glyph in a serif is a normal typographic move and is not the same as adopting a serif for headings, but it is still a second typeface on the page, so it is named here rather than smuggled in. c and d both avoid that entirely — c reuses the FontAwesome quote glyph already in the section badge (unambiguous, in-system, but the same mark twice in one section — the accepted trade of the pick), and d removes it, on the argument that the badge, the orange top rule and the stars already say “review” without it. If the second typeface is unwelcome, d is the honest answer, not a.
