Get started with KudosWall

Go from zero to your first embedded testimonial widget in six steps. Collect a testimonial and display it on your website — no coding knowledge required.

This guide walks you through collecting your first testimonial and displaying it on your website. By the end you will have a live widget showing approved testimonials on any page you choose.

The Free plan supports up to 5 testimonials and 1 project. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited testimonials, custom domains, and white-label branding.

1. Create your account

   Go to kudoswall.org and sign up for a free account. Once you confirm your email, KudosWall creates a default workspace for you automatically. A workspace is the container for all your projects, testimonials, and widgets.

2. Create a collection page

   In your dashboard, go to Collections and click New Collection. Give the collection a name — this is only visible to you — then click Create.

   KudosWall generates a public collection page where your customers can submit testimonials. The collection customizer opens automatically, where you can adjust the headline, subheading, colors, font, and form fields.

3. Share your collection link

   In the collection customizer, click the Share tab. You’ll see your collection link in the format:

   https://kudoswall.org/collect/{your-slug}
   

   Copy this link and send it to customers via email, a post-purchase message, or any other channel where you already communicate with them.

4. Approve a testimonial

   When a customer submits their testimonial, it appears in your dashboard under Testimonials with a status of Pending.

   Click on the submission to read it, then click Approve to make it eligible for display in your widgets. Testimonials are never shown publicly until you approve them.

   Approve a test submission by opening your collection link in a browser and filling out the form yourself.

5. Create and embed a widget

   Go to Dashboard > Widgets and click New Widget. Give your widget a name, then open it to choose a layout (grid, masonry, or carousel), pick a theme, and configure any filters.

   Once the widget is created, click Embed Code to find your script tag:

   <script
     src="https://kudoswall.org/widget.js"
     data-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"
     async
   ></script>
   

   Click Copy Code to copy it to your clipboard.

6. Add the widget to your website

   Open your website’s HTML and paste the script tag just before the closing </body> tag. The widget loads asynchronously and will not affect your page’s load performance.

   <!-- your existing content -->
   <script
     src="https://kudoswall.org/widget.js"
     data-id="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"
     async
   ></script>
   </body>
   

   Save and publish your page. The widget will appear automatically and update whenever you approve new testimonials in your dashboard.

   If you use a website builder like Webflow, Squarespace, or Shopify, paste the script into your theme’s custom code or footer injection field rather than editing HTML directly.
