Countdown widget
A deadline your visitors can see.
Count down to the end of a sale, a launch, a webinar or a holiday, and put a button beside the clock. A visitor can go straight to the offer, or add the moment to their own calendar in two clicks. When the clock runs out, you decide what takes its place.
Why this one
More than numbers ticking down
Four kinds of clock
Numbers in tiles, flip cards whose top half folds down on each change, one ring that runs out with the time, or a ring for every unit. Show anything from years down to thousandths of a second.
Any kind of deadline
A fixed date seen the same everywhere, a clock per visitor that starts when they arrive, a deal that starts again every day or every week, or a count up from a moment you are proud of.
An ending you choose
At zero, show a closing message with a button, swap in another of your widgets, or take the clock away. Open a popup or send visitors on to the next page if you like.

Questions
About the countdown widget
How do I put a countdown timer on my website?
Choose a template, set the date and time it counts to, write the title and the button, then press Publish changes and paste the embed code where the clock should sit. Change the date later and the clock on your site follows within a minute.
Does every visitor see the same time left?
With a date, yes: everyone counts to the same moment, shown in their own time zone. With evergreen minutes, each visitor gets a clock of their own that starts the first time they see it and is kept in their browser.
What does Add to calendar do?
Set the button's action to Add to calendar and a click offers Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or any app that opens an .ics file, Outlook.com and Microsoft 365. The event is the moment the countdown ends unless you give it a start of your own. Nothing is sent from our side; the visitor's calendar adds it.
What happens when it reaches zero?
You choose: a heading, a paragraph and a button in place of the clock, another of your widgets in its place, or nothing at all. It can also open a popup with up to three buttons, or send the visitor to another page.
Can it count up instead?
Yes. Set it to count up from a moment and it shows the time since, in years, months, weeks, days and on down, for an anniversary, a launch date or days without an incident.
What does it cost?
Free for 2 widgets, each shown up to 300 times a month. Paid plans start at $5 a month billed yearly and count no views at all. See pricing.
