About

These widgets let you design popular features quickly and easily. They are particularly useful for businesses and biographies.

testimonials

Reviews and testimonials are possible with these widgets: Business Reviews (which uses Google Places and Yelp), Facebook Reviews, Google Reviews, Yelp Reviews, and Restimonials. There is also a Rating widget. While Story Tappy does not allow visitor memberships and comments (and thus no guest ratings), you can still use this widget to assign ratings, such as in your own hosted reviews.

tags cloud

You may be familiar with tags and categories via social media. They allow you to organise and filter content according to topic labels. You can also create and apply tags and categories within WordPress, then allow your viewers to filter content according to those labels. If you are creating posts (not just pages) and inserting posts into pages using a post or blog widget (such as this and this), take a look in the settings of that widget to see if you can filter content via tags. Unlike those blog-post widgets, the tags cloud widget has a different functionality. It allows you to present tags in interesting ways for viewers to choose from.

price display

For attractive pricing displays, you could use this Pricing Table, this Price Box or this Price List widget. For tables and charts (not necessarily for prices), see the Extra > Useful Tools page.
