Spotlight widget
One review, sliding in while somebody is deciding.
A single review card that appears in a corner, stays a few seconds and leaves again, then comes back with a different one. It is the only layout that reaches a visitor who was never going to scroll to your reviews section.
When to use the spotlight.
A single review card that slides into a corner of every page, stays a few seconds and leaves again. Click it and the whole review opens. Best where a wall of reviews would not fit but proof still has to reach the reader.
Pick something else when…
If a visitor is on the page specifically to read reviews, give them all of them — the spotlight shows one at a time and takes its own pace, which is the opposite of what somebody comparing options wants.
- 01
Checkout and booking flows
A page where a section of reviews would be a distraction, but a reminder that other people went through with it is not.
- 02
Pages you did not design
A hosted booking engine, a store template, anything you cannot put a widget into. The spotlight needs no space in the layout because it does not use any.
- 03
A second appearance
Plenty of sites run a wall on the reviews page and the spotlight everywhere else, so the two never compete for the same screen.
It fits the space it is given.
The same widget, at three widths. It reflows rather than shrinking — no horizontal scrolling, no eight-point type on a phone.
Installing it takes a minute.
Publish the reviews you want, copy the snippet, and paste it where the reviews should appear. It updates itself as new reviews come in — you never touch the code again.

Where the reviews come from.
The spotlight shows whatever is in your ReviewsJet library, whichever platform each review arrived from.
Questions about the spotlight.
- Is it not just a notification popup?
- It looks like one and it differs in the way that matters: every card is a real review somebody wrote and published, on a platform you connected. Nothing is invented and nothing is a counter of people who "just signed up".
- Which corner does it appear in?
- Any of the four, and that is a setting. So is how long each review stays and how long the gap between them is.
- Can a visitor read the whole review?
- Yes — clicking the card opens the full review, and the card holds still while it is being hovered rather than sliding away mid-sentence.
- Does it show on phones?
- It can, and it is worth thinking about: a card in the corner of a small screen covers more of the page than it does on a laptop.
The other five layouts
- MarqueeA full-width band between sections, where continuous movement catches an eye that is scrolling past.
- MasonryA dedicated reviews page, where long and short reviews should sit together without leaving gaps.
- GridReviews of a similar length, where an even, predictable arrangement reads as tidy rather than rigid.
- ListLong, detailed reviews, and any page whose traffic is mostly on a phone.
- CarouselA homepage or landing page where there is room for a few reviews but not for all of them.
- QuoteA page that needs one line of proof set into it, not a section of them.
- PopupEvery page at once, without giving up any of the layout to do it.
