In the shop

Your visitors find the reviews that matter to them in three steps.

your-shop.com/sneaker-classic-high
01 · Get oriented

The overview shows at a glance how well a product is received.

Average, number, distribution across one to five stars and the recommendation rate. A click on a star rating opens exactly those reviews.

02 · Understand

The summary explains what is praised and what is criticised.

A short conclusion, plus features mentioned positively and negatively with the number of mentions. The next chapter shows how this is created.

03 · Go deeper

On the reviews page, they read on in a targeted way.

Two columns keep the overview and the reviews side by side. Filter by stars, sort by newest, oldest, most positive or most negative reviews.

On a smartphone, everything is stacked in the same order.
