Inside the carousel

In slide mode all quotes sit in one flex row and the track moves with transform: translateX, which is smooth because it does not trigger layout. In fade mode the slides are stacked in the same grid cell and only the active one is visible.

Autoplay pauses while the pointer is over the carousel or keyboard focus is inside it, and it is switched off completely for visitors who prefer reduced motion. Hidden slides get aria-hidden so screen readers only announce the visible quote.

Slides

Each quote is a figure with a blockquote and a figcaption.

Dots

aria-current marks the active dot for assistive technology.

Avatars

Initials are generated from the name, so no photos are needed.

Testimonial carousel FAQ

Can I use photos instead of initials?

Yes. Replace the span with class tc-avatar with an img element and give it the same size and border-radius.

How do I turn off autoplay?

Set the autoplay value to 0. Visitors can still use the arrows, dots or swipe.

Why does autoplay not run on my device?

If your system has reduced motion turned on, autoplay is deliberately disabled for accessibility.

Are the testimonials indexed by search engines?

Yes. All quotes are in the HTML from the start, so crawlers can read them even though only one is visible at a time.

How many testimonials can I add?

Any reasonable number. Three to six is usually best so visitors actually see them all.
