Bootstrap 5 Testimonial Carousel

This lightweight code snippet helps you to create a testimonial carousel for your Bootstrap 5 projects. It uses Bootstrap 5 native slider component to slide the clients/customer’s reviews. You can easily integrate this testimonial into the portfolio, online stores, or eCommerce web projects.

Basically, it comes with an autoplay feature and next/previous buttons navigation. But you can also customize it using Bootstrap carousel options in order to get the desired output.

How to Create Bootstrap 5 Testimonial Carousel

1. First of all, load Bootstrap 5 and Font Awesome CSS into the head tag of your webpage.

<!-- Bootstrap 5 CSS -->
<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.0/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" integrity="sha384-KyZXEAg3QhqLMpG8r+8fhAXLRk2vvoC2f3B09zVXn8CA5QIVfZOJ3BCsw2P0p/We" crossorigin="anonymous">
    
<!-- Font Awesome 5 CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://pro.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.13.0/css/all.css">

2. After that, create the HTML structure for the testimonial carousel and place your client’s reviews as follows:

 <section class="client pt-3 pb-5">
  <div class="container">
    <div class="row text-center">
      <div class="col-12">
        <h1 class="display-3 fw-bold text-white">Testimonials</h1>
        <hr class="bg-white mb-4 mt-0 d-inline-block mx-auto" style="width: 100px; height:3px;">
        <p class="p-text text-white">What our clients are saying</p> 
      </div>
    </div>
    <div class="row align-items-md-center text-white">
      <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12">
     <div id="carouselExampleCaptions" class="carousel slide" data-bs-ride="carousel">
              <!-- Wrapper for slides -->
    <div class="carousel-inner">
      <div class="carousel-item active">
        <div class="row p-4">
          <div class="t-card">
                <i class="fa fa-quote-left" aria-hidden="true"></i>
        <p class="lh-lg">Review goes here...</p>
                      <i class="fa fa-quote-right" aria-hidden="true"></i><br>
                    </div>
          <div class="row">

              <div class="col-sm-10">
            <div class="arrow-down d-none d-lg-block"></div>

                    </div>
                  </div>
                </div>
               <div class="carousel-item">
                   <div class="row p-4">
                    <div class="t-card">
                    <i class="fa fa-quote-left" aria-hidden="true"></i>

                    <div class="row text-lg-start">
                    <div class="col-sm-2 pt-4 align-items-center">
                        <img src="https://source.unsplash.com/300x300/?businessman" class="rounded-circle img-responsive img-fluid">
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-sm-10">
                          <div class="arrow-down d-none d-md-block"></div>
                        <h4><strong>Patrick muriungi</strong></h4>
                        <p class="testimonial_subtitle"><span>Web Technologist</span><br>
                        <span>Vaxa digital</span>
                        </p>
                    </div>
                    </div>
                  </div>
                </div>
              </div>
            </div>
            <div class="controls push-right">
                <a class="left fa fa-chevron-left text-white btn btn btn-outline-light" href="#carouselExampleCaptions"
                  data-bs-slide="prev"></a>
                <a class="right fa fa-chevron-right text-white btn btn btn-outline-light" href="#carouselExampleCaptions"
                  data-bs-slide="next"></a>
              </div>
        </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  </section>

3. Now, set the custom background color for the carousel and define some additional CSS styles for the testimonial slider.

.client {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background: #7F00FF;  /* fallback for old browsers */
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(to right, #E100FF, #7F00FF);  /* Chrome 10-25, Safari 5.1-6 */
    background: linear-gradient(to right, #E100FF, #7F00FF); /* W3C, IE 10+/ Edge, Firefox 16+, Chrome 26+, Opera 12+, Safari 7+ */
}
 
.carousel-icon i {
  font-size: 5rem;
  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
}
 
.carousel-item i {
  font-size: 1.6rem;
  color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.3);
}
 
.t-card {
  padding: 1.8125rem 1.125rem;
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
  border-radius: 1.25rem;
  color: #fff;
  height: auto;
}
 
.arrow-down {
  width: 0;
  height: 0;
  border-left: 1.5625rem solid transparent;
  border-right: 1.5625rem solid transparent;
  border-top: 1.25rem solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

4. Finally, load the Bootstrap 5 JS file before closing the body tag and done.

<!-- Bootstrap 5 JavaScript Bundle with Popper -->
