Floating Reviews and Testimonials

The plugin adds a floating button to your website's sidebar that can display any reviews and/or testimonials you may have. When a visitor hovers over the button, a sidebar popup displays the reviews/testimonials that they can then scroll through. The popup and button can be styled to match your site, including colours, fonts, button position and shape. All text in the popup and plugin is editable, so you can use any language. View a Live Demo (In this demo, the button has been positioned bottom left). You stay in control of which reviews or testimonials are displayed on your website, they aren't automatically added to your site (so if you get an unfair review, it isn't automatically displayed on your website!). The reviews/testimonials are manually added by you. They can come from any source, e.g. Google, Facebook, Yelp etc, or from the reviewer directly. In the popup, you can then display who the review came from, what the star rating was (if any) when the review was given, their business name (if any) and the review itself. You can also choose whether to display the popup on mobiles. If you choose to display the floating button for mobile visitors, the button slides out of view when the mobile user is scrolling down your pages so they can fully view your website's content, and then reappears when they scroll back up.
