How do I add a countdown to my website?

Set your event name, date and theme above, then copy the generated HTML and paste it into your site, blog post or CMS. The widget is an iframe, so it works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and Shopify.

Is the countdown widget free?

Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up. The widget counts down live in your visitors' browsers and keeps working as long as the embed code stays on your page.

Can I change the colours or size?

You can pick a dark, light, soft or teal theme and set the width and height. The widget is responsive, so a width of 100% will fit whatever container you place it in.

Will the countdown stay accurate?

Yes. The widget counts down to a fixed date and time, calculated in each visitor's browser, so it always shows the correct remaining time.
