Countdown Widget

🎯 Purpose

Create dynamic timers that count down to a date, duration, or event—without additional plugins. Perfect for launching products, limited-time offers, or evergreen campaigns.

⚙️ Core Content Settings

1. Type

   • Due Date: Counts down to a specific calendar date and time.

   • Evergreen Timer: Starts timing when each visitor reaches the page, using a set number of hours and minutes.

2. View Style

   • Block: Displays time units (days, hours, minutes, seconds) stacked vertically.

   • Inline: Lays them out side-by-side horizontally.

3. Time Units Display

   • Toggle visibility of days, hours, minutes, or seconds individually.

   • Option to show or hide descriptive labels.

4. Custom Labels

   • Replace default labels (“Days,” “Hours,” etc.) with your own wording.

5. Post-Countdown Behavior

   • Redirect: Navigate users to a specified URL.

   • Hide: Simply remove the timer.

   • Show Message: Display a custom message in place of the timer.

🎨 Style Customization

Box Appearance

• Control container width, background color, border type and radius.

• Set spacing between timer boxes and internal padding.

Content Styling

• Digits: Customize color and typography (font, weight, size, etc.).

• Labels: Appears only if enabled—customize color and typography similarly to digits.

Expire Message Styling

• Text alignment (left, center, right, justified).

• Color and typography options for the post-countdown message.

🔧 Advanced Options

✅ Best Practices

• Use Evergreen Timer for personalized urgency; Due Date for synchronized events.

• Choose Block view for tall layouts, Inline for compact layouts.

• Keep digit styles bold and clear—drastically increasing font size enhances urgency.

• Use Show Message when providing follow-up guidance after expiration.

• Adjust spacing, border radius, and padding to match your page’s visual style.

📌 Ideal Use Cases

• Product launches, upcoming webinars, flash sales.

• Countdown to events like webinars or registration deadlines.

• Limited-time offers that start individually or expire simultaneously.
