Testimonial Ticker
One endless ribbon of short quotes, always moving, never in the way.
Turns your AI into a testimonial-strip builder — turns a pile of short quotes into a horizontally scrolling, auto-advancing ticker strip that loops seamlessly, pauses on hover, and never hijacks the page.

Testimonial Ticker
When to use
- Your homepage or landing page has a thin band of space for social proof — a strip above the footer, under the hero, between sections — not a full grid section
- You have many short quotes (one line each) and a static grid would eat half the page
- You want proof to feel alive and ambient: always moving, easy to glance at, never demanding a click
- A launch page, event page, or campaign page needs a band of praise that sits beside a signup form without competing with it
- Your quotes are short and punchy already — the ticker is the wrong home for a six-line story, and this skill will tell you so
Workflow
- Collect and shrink the quotes (input: reviews, survey answers, short comments → output: ticker-ready one-liners)
Gather short quotes only: one line each, ideally under 15 words, each carrying one fact or one feeling. A ticker line is a headline, not a story — "Onboarding took four days, not three weeks" fits; a three-sentence account of your implementation does not. Keep each quote attached to a short attribution (first name + role, or name + company) that fits on the same line. If you have fewer than six ticker-ready lines, the strip will look thin and repeat too fast — either gather more or use a static row instead. Do not invent quotes or compress a customer's words until they mean something new; cutting filler is editing, changing the claim is fabrication. - Design the strip (input: ticker-ready one-liners → output: strip spec)
Define the strip as a single horizontal band: one row of quote chips, each chip holding one quote plus its attribution, separated by a clear divider (a dot, a dash, or a small mark — not a wall of text). Pick a speed that a reader can actually follow: a full loop in roughly 30–45 seconds, so any single quote stays on screen for several seconds. Choose a background that separates the strip from the sections around it — a dark band on a light page, or a tinted band — so the movement reads as a deliberate ribbon, not a glitch. One row only: two rows scrolling in different directions is a fairground ride, not social proof.
