Sometimes one sentence carries more than a whole paragraph. Use Quote when the wording itself matters: a line from an interview, article or conversation, or a memorable principle of your own. Supporting copy can add brief context, but it should not take over the role of the quotation.
The sense of scale comes from content width and inner spacing, rather than a separate size switch.
Content width and inner spacing together determine whether it feels like a quick inline highlight or a major visual pause.
Good inside an article or longer page when you want one sentence to stand out without interrupting the reading rhythm.
Useful for a stronger brand statement or a visual pause between sections. It gives the sentence more air and emphasis.
A rarer, stronger treatment. Use it when the quote should stop the page rhythm for a moment.
The author's name and role (company, job title or town) have fields of their own and appear under the quote. With Portrait on, their photo shows beside the name; on the card, their initials when there is no photo. If you typed quotation marks around the quote yourself, the block does not double them. There is an example of each layout below.
“Visitors do not arrive to read everything. They arrive to make a decision faster.”
Compact highlighted quote, Beside layout. Pull out a short line from longer content when it can summarise the point on its own.
Do not start from an empty editor.
Spacious brand statement, Centred layout. A short, memorable principle can benefit from more space so it becomes a genuine visual pause.
After the first version, we no longer had to imagine what the site could be — we could discuss what was worth changing.
Card layout, full width. This is demonstration copy with a made-up author, not a real customer quotation. Without a photo, the card shows the author's initials. On a live site, use an exact, approved line; to present several endorsements as trust-building proof, use the Testimonials block instead.
Quote, Callout box or Single testimonial? Use Quote when the exact wording matters. Use the Callout box for your own rule, warning or summary. If you want structured trust evidence with a person's name and role, use the Single testimonial block.
The strongest quotations are not long. They are precise, credible and still true in context.
Do not pull out an arbitrary sentence. Choose one whose phrasing is worth preserving.
One or two sentences usually has more impact than quoting a whole paragraph.
Do not shorten a quote in a way that changes or obscures the original meaning.
When quoting someone else, make the source clear and use only an accurate, approved line.
Beyond the words themselves, you can tune the layout, the author, width, background and spacing.
Beside, Centred or Card. In Beside and Card the quote, or the card, can sit on the left or the right.
The author's name and role go under the quote, not into the supporting text. With Portrait on, their photo appears too; on the Card layout, their initials when there is no photo.
Choose Reading, Wide or Full to control how dominant the quotation feels on the page.
Use Default, Custom or Dark backgrounds. The section can stay in the content column, extend full width, or take both background and content edge to edge.
Section inner spacing and custom padding determine how much room the quotation and supporting copy receive.
The quotation marks take the block's accent colour. If you typed quotation marks around the quote yourself, the block does not double them.
Switch when the exact quoted sentence is not the main point.
GIVE THE SENTENCE WEIGHT
Adjust the quote's layout, author and background so it fits the rhythm of the page without overpowering it.
