Jimdo Website Testimonials With HTML Widgets
Jimdo runs two different editors under one name. Jimdo Creator has a Widget/HTML element that accepts pasted code, so the StoryProof embed goes straight in. The newer Jimdo Website Builder, which Jimdo’s own help calls out separately, does not allow custom HTML, scripts or external widgets at all. Find out which one you have before you copy anything.

Code for Jimdo Creator
What to paste in Jimdo Creator
These blocks apply to Jimdo Creator only. On the Jimdo Website Builder there is nowhere to paste them; use the link route in the steps below.
Part 1 · Creator: one Widget/HTML element holding both lines
Edit mode › Add Element › More elements and add-ons › Widget/HTML
<div data-storyproof-widget="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"></div>
<script src="https://app.storyproof.io/embed.js" async></script>Part 2 · Creator, several widgets: the div in each Widget/HTML element
Each Widget/HTML element
<div data-storyproof-widget="YOUR_WIDGET_ID"></div>Part 3 · …and the script once for the whole site
Menu › Settings › Edit Head
<script src="https://app.storyproof.io/embed.js" async></script>Save the element and view the page outside edit mode, ideally in a private window, to see what visitors get.
The widget id stays in this page and only fills in the code blocks.
The problem, solved
Jimdo situations, and how StoryProof fits each
- Problem 1
I cannot find a Widget/HTML element
Jimdo’s Website Builder help says custom HTML, scripts and external widgets are not supported there, so the element is not missing by mistake.
How StoryProof solves it
Link to your Wall of Love from a button or menu item. It is a hosted page of approved testimonials with its own address, on every plan.
- Problem 2
Creator element, but which code?
Many widget vendors hand over long snippets, and pasting the wrong part leaves a blank box.
How StoryProof solves it
StoryProof’s embed is a single div with your widget id plus one async script line. Paste both into the Widget/HTML element.
- Problem 3
Proof on many Creator pages
Services, About and Contact all want praise, and repeating the script everywhere gets untidy.
How StoryProof solves it
Load embed.js once through Edit Head and it fills every StoryProof div on whichever page loads it. Each page then needs only a div.
- Problem 4
My customers do not write English
A local business abroad loses replies when the request form only speaks English.
How StoryProof solves it
Collection forms come in 6 languages on every plan, so customers can respond in a language they are comfortable with.
- Problem 5
Regular customers, but no request list
A tradesperson or club knows its regulars by name yet has never asked them in one organised round.
How StoryProof solves it
Add them as contacts and send review requests by email to the people you choose, then approve what comes back before it shows.
Jimdo Creator or Jimdo Website Builder?
In StoryProof
Install by editor
Step 1 of 4
Choose the testimonials
Approve the stories you are happy to publish and add them to a widget. The Wall of Love shows your approved testimonials too.
Step 2 of 4
Creator: add a Widget/HTML element
In edit mode, hover where the proof should go, click Add Element, open More elements and add-ons, pick Widget/HTML, paste both StoryProof lines and save.
Step 3 of 4
Creator, optional: move the script to Edit Head
For widgets on several pages, paste the script once under Menu › Settings › Edit Head and keep only divs in the elements.
Step 4 of 4
Website Builder: add a link instead
Add a button or navigation link that opens your Wall of Love address, labelled so visitors know it leads to customer stories.
Before you start
Jimdo limits
Website Builder blocks scripts
Jimdo’s Website Builder help says it does not allow custom HTML, scripts or external widgets. The widget cannot run there.
Per-page head code may cost extra
Edit Head for the whole site is documented. Unofficial guides say per-page head code needs a paid Creator plan, so check yours.
No Jimdo add-on
StoryProof is not a Jimdo add-on. It goes in as pasted code on Creator or as a link on the Website Builder.
Under Construction mode
Jimdo notes some head code steps need the site out of Under Construction mode. Publish before checking.
From Jimdo search results, untried
Steps follow Jimdo help pages as they appeared in search results on 2026-11-13; the pages themselves could not be opened. Nobody has followed them on a live Jimdo site for this guide.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Short answers to what usually comes up next.
How do I know if I am on Jimdo Creator?
Creator’s editor offers Add Element with a More elements and add-ons option that lists Widget/HTML. If you cannot find it, you are most likely on the Website Builder.
Can I switch from Website Builder to Creator?
Jimdo’s Website Builder help points people who need custom code toward Creator. Ask Jimdo how a move would work for your site.
Do I need the script in every Widget/HTML element?
No. One copy per page fills all StoryProof divs on it. Edit Head is the tidy place for that copy.
What will visitors see on the Wall of Love?
A hosted page of the testimonials you approved, at its own address, which you can link from anywhere on your Jimdo site.
Still have a question? Ask the StoryProof team or book a demo.
