How to Create Rotating Testimonial Banners on Your PhotoBiz Website
Rotating testimonial banners are a simple yet powerful way to showcase real client feedback and boost your site's credibility. Plus, when you use live text in your banners, it helps with SEO!
In this guide, we'll walk you through how to create and customize rotating testimonial banners using transparent images and the Banner Block in your PhotoBiz Website Builder.
STEP ONE
Create a Transparent Image
You’ll need a transparent image to use as a placeholder in your banner.
- In Photoshop:
Create a new 100x100 pixel file, remove the background layer, and save the file.
- In Canva:Create a new 100x100 pixel design. Delete the background or set it to transparent.
NOTE: The image won't be visible on your site — it simply gives you a way to display live text in the banner.
STEP TWO
Export the Image as a PNG
- Photoshop: Go to File > Export > Export As, then choose PNG as the file type.
- Canva: Click Download, choose PNG, and check the Transparent Background box before downloading.
