how to display client testimonials in Wordpress, without a plugin?

[SilverNodashi]

Does anyone know how to display "client testimonials" in Wordpress, without using a plugin? I'm trying to use minimal plugins on my Wordpress website due to security concerns (a LOT of plugins are insecure and unsupported).

I currently display the "client testimonials" using the "blockquote" feature inside a post, but it doesn't look that good, and the amount of testimonials currently on the page slow the page down too much. So I need something that could paginate as well.

Any suggestions?

Try custom post types:

How about just paste the testimonials on a specific pages? I am not good at this.

Write a theme page for the testimonials and look into the "loop". Only way your going to do this without plugins. When I wrote a testimonial plugin for wordpress, it was just a backend admin page to capture the plugins and then wrote a single page to display it. I would say that the biggest security concern is more locking down your instance than only trying to avoid a unsecure plugin.

CatsWhoCode is a great resource and they just published a guideline on how to lock down your WP

Custom Post Types. Unless you code them manually in the theme functions you'll need a plugin. Then you create a custom template page that will loop through the posts.
I know I'm not adding anything new to what the above posts say , but post types are the cleanest way, and that's what they were created for
