prett ymuch what a testimonial is. so i would say if you ahve a section on your CV about websites/development, you can put what sort of things you did and responses to your work

On my CV, I have a section for both.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't care who Ben Smith is, but what he says its just that someone found your work quite decent, and you provided them with quality work.

give them a contact such as a reliable source eg, a website/e-mail address

if you say, well you can just make them up, well you can jsut make jobs up tbh

Ben Smith could be anyone though, you could've made him up.

That's why they ask for references, not testimonials.

I have posted both, testimonials are just "addons" to it, just a few plusses.

Pluses that take up space on your CV. A load of irrelevant babble.

What would be good if you did one whole page on your personal site, explaining what you do and link the site, put testimonials on the site - the best way methinks.

My CV is an online CV, with a navigation that loads the specific parts of the CV into the DIV (AJAX)

Hmm, I'm undecided in that case then, whether testimonials are wise.

Doesn't take up that much space, if someone doesn't want to look at it, do not click on the tab :P

These recommendations are meant to be people they can contact via phone. It's things like past employers or higher management in any companies you worked for. So I don't think an employer would care about people giving you quotes about your work.

If you have worked previous then get in touch with them for a recommendation as they are the ones that matter. If you haven't been in a job before just leave them blank. Either way it doesn't affect your chances as long as you have the qualifications and abilities.
