Press quote

One line from a publication, set large on a dark band. Each Quote block is one press mention, and where there is more than one the section moves between them on its own.

What it does: Borrows somebody else’s authority. A customer review says the piece was good. A named title saying it means something different, and that is worth its own quiet band rather than a card in a grid.

Key settings (in the section’s settings):

Setting	What it does	Default
Color scheme	Section colors. It arrives on the dusk scheme, which is what sets the band apart from the page.	scheme-dusk
Autoplay	Moves between quotes where the section holds more than one.	On
Duration	How long each quote holds, 4 to 12 seconds.	4s

The section also carries a Section spacing group. Pick a Device of Desktop or Mobile, then set Top and Bottom.

Blocks: Quote, up to 12.

Setting	What it does	Default
Quote	The line. Keep it to one sentence. This is a pull quote, not an extract.	”A quiet reproof to the season’s louder collections…”
Source name	Who wrote it.	”Ada Marlow”
Publication	Where it appeared.	”The Tailored Review”
Link	The article, if it is online.	Empty

Caution

Quote accurately and attribute properly. Name the writer and the publication, do not edit the sentence into something it did not say, and link the piece where you can. A press quote that cannot be checked is worth less than none.

Note

Autoplay pauses while a visitor’s keyboard focus is inside the band, and it does not run at all under reduced motion. The first quote is shown, and the others are a click away.

When to use it: Use it once, high on a home page or an About page, where a claim from outside the store carries most weight. For customer reviews, use Customer quotes. For the store’s own line rather than somebody else’s, use Text banner.
