Managing Testimonials

The Testimonials carousel on the landing page is managed as a single drag-reorderable list. Each item picks a person from the People collection and adds a bilingual quote — the list order in the admin is the order shown on the landing page. The same person can appear as a face in “Faces of BEARS” or as a project lead in “Meet the Team” without being a testimonial, and vice versa.

Where the data lives

All testimonials live in a single file, src/content/testimonials/list.mdx, which holds an array of items in its frontmatter. You don’t edit it directly — use the admin.

Adding a Testimonial

In the Keystatic admin, open Testimonials in the sidebar. You’ll see the list; click Add at the bottom to add a new item. If the person you want to quote doesn’t exist yet, create them under People first (see Managing People), then come back.

Fields on each item:

All fields are required.

Reordering

Drag any item up or down in the list — that’s the only ordering control. The top item in the list is shown first in the carousel, the bottom item last.

Removing a Testimonial

Click the trash icon on the item you want to remove. The underlying person record in the People collection is untouched, so they can still appear in Faces of BEARS or Meet the Team.

Image and Name

The carousel uses the portrait, name, and role from the referenced person — you don’t duplicate those on the testimonial. Update them once in the People entry and every surface picks up the change.
