Testimonial metric, Pattern Paste Canonical: https://patternpaste.com/pattern/testimonial-metric.html Library (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/) Testimonials (https://patternpaste.com/patterns/testimonials/) Catalogue access Standard # Testimonial metric An outcome-driven testimonial section pairing a display-scale impact figure and context label on the left with an expansive client quote on the right, the client's portrait standing on the ruled attribution beneath it. States no colour and no font of its own. The signature moment ## The outcome figure anchors the voice The metric figure is set at display scale in a 36% column, anchoring the entire composition, while the quote runs expansive in the wide column beside it. The visitor reads the hard outcome first (+340%), then the editorial verdict that explains how it happened, and finally the attribution on its hairline. Theme handoff ## What comes from where ### From your theme - The typeface. - Your colours. - The attribution hairline. - Your spacing scale. ### Set by this pattern - Full bleed with its own 1240px container. - The 36/64 column ratio. - The display metric. - The quote ramp. - One portrait, on the attribution rule. Full pattern notes ## Why it works, and how it is built Open a topic for the complete design reasoning, editing guidance and implementation notes. Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives ### Overview One high-conviction client quote anchored by a display-scale outcome metric, two up. It is built for case study and conversion pages where social proof needs to carry quantifiable evidence alongside the voice. ### The signature moment: the outcome figure anchors the voice The metric figure is set at display scale in a 36% column, anchoring the entire composition, while the quote runs expansive in the wide column beside it. The visitor reads the hard outcome first (+340%), then the editorial verdict that explains how it happened, and finally the attribution on its hairline. That is what separates it from the rest of the section. testimonial-band is an inverted text-only statement; testimonial-portrait is a quote stepping down to a photograph; testimonial-trio is three bottom-aligned cards. This one is the only pattern in the section that pairs quantified telemetry directly with a client voice. Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first ### The variation - Inverted plate (variations/inverted-plate.html) puts the metric inside a dark contrast plate with base type, giving strong tonal separation between the outcome number and the customer quote. Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast ### What it inherits from your theme - The typeface. No font family is stated anywhere, including on the giant metric. It renders in your theme's primary face. - Your colours. The ground asks for base and the text for contrast, both behind fallback chains that end on a colour WordPress guarantees. - The attribution hairline. It is currentColor, matching your text colour across all themes. - Your spacing scale. Padding and block gaps use spacing presets, scaling with your theme's typography scale. ### What it decides for itself - Full bleed with its own 1240px container. Spans the viewport while keeping line lengths comfortable. - The 36/64 column ratio. Balances the oversized stat figure with a generous measure for the client quote. - The display metric. clamp(3.5rem, 6.5vw, 5.5rem) with line-height: 1 and tight tracking so the figure sits compact and punchy. - The quote ramp. Set at var(--wp--preset--font-size--large, clamp(1.25rem, 1.85vw, 1.6875rem)) with a 1.45 line-height so it reads as a strong editorial statement. - One portrait, on the attribution rule. A 6.5rem square frame sits beside the name on the hairline under the quote. It is deliberately the second face of the section after the figure: the number is still the picture, and the portrait is what makes the number somebody's. It states no colour, so the Inverted plate variation is unaffected. ### Display type Off the theme's ladder on purpose, because the size is the composition: - paragraph at clamp(3.5rem, 6.5vw, 5.5rem) Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints ### What a buyer changes first - The metric and its label. Change +340% and the context label beneath it to reflect your customer's measured outcome. - The quote. 40 to 65 words is optimal for the 64% column measure. - The attribution. Replace Elena Rostova, the title/organisation line and the portrait beside them. It is a square crop of a head-and-shoulders photograph, not a centre crop of a full-length one: a waist-up frame squared from the middle loses the crown of the head and reads as a torso at this size. - The eyebrow. "Proven outcomes" is an uppercase label paragraph. Edit or delete it. ### Notes - Core blocks only: group, columns, column, paragraph, image. No scripts or custom CSS. - Every color is a fallback chain ending in universal presets. - The stat figure is display-sized and judged at 3:1 contrast; all body and attribution text is judged at 4.5:1. 6.5KB of core-block markup, 5 blocks (column, columns, group, image, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.

The signature is the margin: the image is a window cut in the page rather than a band across it, and the paper around it is what you notice. A small opaque plate in the picture's bottom-right corner carries the caption, so no type ever sits on the photograph. The still-image version includes an example photograph; select your own clip for the video version. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/hero-aperture.html)Stats Stat callout A high-impact framed spotlight plaque: a central marquee figure and bold executive statement sit above a ruled three-part corroboration shelf enclosed within the same 1px currentColor architectural frame. States no colour and no font of its own. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/stat-callout.html)Pricing Pricing cover menu A screen-height cover with three plans set on it like a restaurant menu: a heavy veil of your theme's contrast colour over the photograph, a display headline in the lower left and a narrow ruled price list in the right-hand column, each plan a name and its price on one line and a sentence beneath, hairline rules between, one button under the list. The list drops beneath the headline on a phone. Includes a replaceable example photograph and placeholder prices. States no colour and no font of its own. Ships with a short hand-off row on your theme's paper below it. (https://patternpaste.com/pattern/pricing-cover-menu.html) #### Before you paste Requires a block theme on WordPress 6.7 to 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type. How we test patterns (https://patternpaste.com/how-we-test/) Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library. Video variations need your own clip.
