Step 1: Select Your Star Symbol

First, navigate to a symbol or emoji library. You can simply search for "star symbols" or "star emojis" in your favorite search engine or an emoji library. The type of star you choose can vary depending on the style you want for your website. For this tutorial, we'll use golden stars, which are both eye-catching and elegant.

Step 2: Copy the Star Emoji

Once you've selected your desired star style, simply click on the star emoji to copy it. This is a crucial step as you’ll need to paste this symbol into your Squarespace site.

Step 3: Paste the Stars into a Text Block

Head over to your Squarespace site and navigate to the page where you want to add the star ratings. Here’s how to do it:

Create a new text block in your testimonial section.
Paste the star emoji into the text block. For consistency and visual impact, paste the star five times or as many times as needed to represent your rating scale.
Center the stars within the block to ensure they align nicely with your site's design.

Step 4: Placement and Repetition

Place the star ratings in each of your testimonial blocks to maintain a uniform look across your site. You can repeat this process for each testimonial, adjusting the number of stars based on the review or maintaining a decorative five-star pattern for aesthetics.

That’s it! Adding stars to your Squarespace website is a simple yet effective way to enhance your testimonials. With various styles at your disposal, you can choose one that fits your website’s theme and elevates the overall design. Remember, the addition of these small details can significantly improve user engagement and trust in your services.

By following these simple steps, you can easily add a touch of elegance to your Squarespace website and make your testimonial section stand out. Experiment with different star styles and find the one that best suits your website's personality.
