Reviews

Reviews for a WordPress site — the asking happens by itself

The Reviews block has been there a long time, but somebody had to type the texts into it by hand — and so nobody did. This module asks instead: a few days after an order that went out or an appointment that was kept, once, with a link that needs no account. Five stars and two lines, done in a minute on a telephone.

The asking

A few days after the delivery or the appointment — you say how many
Once, never twice
A link with no account, tied to a key that is used up
The same order cannot be reviewed twice
Runs once a day on a visit, not on a scheduler

What comes back

Five stars and two lines — nothing more is asked for
Everything waits until you have read it
Let it through or throw it away, one review at a time
The average and the count stand above the list
Where it came from: an order or an appointment

On the site

The block shows what you let through — no retyping
The average above it, in stars and as a figure
The date written the way the rest of the site writes dates
No Google, no Trustpilot, no script from outside
What you typed in by hand still stands there

A link that needs no account

Five stars and two lines, a minute on a telephone.

The email arrives a few days after the thing itself — not on the day of the order, but once it has arrived. In it a link, and nothing else. The key in that link belongs to exactly this order and is used up afterwards, so the same thing cannot be reviewed twice and nobody is asked a second time. Whoever would rather not simply ignores the mail; there is no second one.

Nothing stands on your front page unseen

What a stranger writes through a form deserves to be read first.

Every review waits until you let it through. On the screen the waiting ones stand on top, with stars, text, name and where it came from. One click lets it through, one click throws it away. What you let through appears in the block by itself, with the average above it — you retype nothing and keep no second list.

Without an outside service

The reviews are yours, not a platform's.

No Google account, no Trustpilot, no script that slows the page down while reading along who visits it. The reviews live in your website, go along with a backup, and stay when you change provider. And the asking runs by itself, once a day on a visit — without a cron service, because many hosts switch that off, and a plugin that leans on it quietly stops working there.
