Your own customer review website
A review website theme with business pages, star ratings, verified reviews and owner replies. A Trustpilot clone you own outright.
Businesses pay you, not a platform
Businesses pay for invitations, rating widgets and featured spots. You keep 100%, with no commission and no monthly theme fee.
Multi-criteria star ratings and trust score
Reviewers rate each business on criteria that fit your niche, such as delivery for shops or punctuality for trades. Scores roll into an overall rating and a trust score that favours recent, verified reviews.
- Custom criteria per category
- Weighted trust score
- Star distribution chart
Verified reviews and proof of purchase
Reviewers upload an order email or invoice, and moderators check it privately before adding a verified badge. Readers can filter to verified reviews, and documents are never shown to the business or the public.
- Proof-of-purchase upload
- Invite-only review links
- Filter to verified only
Photo reviews and helpful votes
Reviewers attach several photos to each review, and every image feeds a gallery on the business page. Helpful votes push detailed, balanced reviews to the top instead of one-line rants.
- Multi-photo uploads
- Helpful-vote sorting
- Business photo gallery
Reviewer profiles and reputation badges
Every reviewer gets a public profile with location, member date, review count and helpful votes. Readers judge a review by its author, and top-reviewer badges reward your best contributors and discourage fake accounts.
- Public reviewer pages
- Reputation badges
- Review history

- Single-use review links
- Automatic reminders
- Invitation tracking
Embeddable rating widgets
Businesses copy and paste widgets that show their live rating, review count and latest reviews on their own website. Every widget links back to your site, and you choose which styles each plan unlocks.
- Badge, carousel and mini styles
- Live score and count
- Links back to your site

- Category and location pages
- Labelled featured slots
SEO-ready review pages with structured data

Review WordPress Theme FAQ
The questions we hear most before people buy. Still unsure? Our support team is happy to help.
What can I build with this review WordPress theme?
Any site where people rate businesses, products or services: a Trustpilot clone for online shops, a Yelp clone for local trades, or a software review site. You choose the categories, rating criteria and whether reviews need proof of purchase.
Is the review WordPress theme available to buy now?
Not yet. The Review Site Theme is in development and expected in late 2026. Use the notify button on this page and we will send one email when it is ready. There is nothing to pay, and signing up does not commit you to buying.
How does a customer review website make money?
Mostly from the businesses being reviewed. Owners claim their page free, then upgrade for invitations, rating widgets and analytics. You can also sell featured spots in category rankings. You set every price and keep all the revenue, with no platform commission.
How do verified reviews work?
Reviewers upload a proof of purchase, such as an order email or receipt, which moderators check privately before adding a verified badge. Paid businesses can also send invite-only review links. Uploaded documents are never shown publicly.
Can businesses reply to reviews or remove bad ones?
They can reply, but not remove. A business claims its page and posts one public reply under each review. It can flag a review that breaks your guidelines, and your moderation queue decides. That rule keeps the site trustworthy.
Will my review pages show stars in Google?
We cannot promise that. Business and review pages output structured data markup for ratings, giving search engines a clear summary of each score. Google decides when to show rich results, so treat stars as a possible bonus, not a guarantee.
Do I need extra plugins for ratings, moderation or payments?
No. Multi-criteria ratings, reviewer profiles, business claims, moderation, paid plans and rating widgets are part of the theme. You install one review website theme instead of a review plugin, a membership plugin and a payments add-on.
How much does the review WordPress theme cost?
The launch price is $99, paid once. That includes 6 months of support and updates, free install and setup, unlimited installs on sites you own and a 14-day money-back guarantee. There are no monthly fees and no commission.
Can I start in one niche and add categories later?
Yes. Many review sites start narrow, such as wedding suppliers in one region, then add categories as traffic grows. Categories, rating criteria and ranking pages are managed in the admin area, so you expand without rebuilding.
Can I design the site with Elementor?
Yes. The theme is Elementor-ready, so you can edit the homepage, category pages and landing pages with the free version of Elementor, using pre-built blocks for rating summaries, review feeds and top-rated lists, all without code.
