Simple Countdown Timer – Sales, Launch and Event Countdowns

Simple Countdown Timer – Sales, Launch and Event Countdowns

Description

Simple Countdown Timer adds a countdown to any page or post – for a sale that ends on Friday, a product launch, a webinar, or anything else with a deadline.

Build a timer in one click with a target date, or take control of the title, the wording shown when it finishes, and how each segment looks. Place it anywhere with a shortcode.

A deadline people can see is the difference between “this is cheaper” and “this is cheaper until Friday”. That is the whole point of the plugin.

Features

  • Quick timers – pick a date and get a working countdown in one click.
  • Custom timers – full control over the setup.
  • Timer title, and the heading tag it uses.
  • Custom text shown once the countdown reaches zero.
  • Hide the segments you do not need, such as seconds or days.
  • Adjustable segment width and spacing.
  • Place any timer with a shortcode.

Pro

Pro is for when a finished timer should do something rather than sit at zero, and for sites running more than one countdown at a time.

Get Pro | Live demo

  • Redirect visitors somewhere else the moment a timer finishes.
  • Show a sign-up form instead of an expired countdown, and keep the list of who signed up.
  • A timezone per timer, rather than one for the whole site.
  • Custom colours for every part of the timer.

Other Plugins You Might Use Alongside It
