What’s new in Simple Countdown for WPBakery 1.0

Version 1.0 · May 2, 2023 Latest

What it does

Many sites need a visible deadline: a promotion that ends at midnight, a webinar that starts next week, or a launch date visitors should remember. Building a timer by hand means custom code and styling work. Simple Countdown for WPBakery gives WPBakery Page Builder users a ready element for this job, so you can add a countdown to a layout the same way you add any other block, with no coding required.

The plugin offers three countdown types and three designs, plus custom color settings so timers match your branding. You can place several countdowns on one page, which helps when you are promoting more than one offer or event at a time. More than 200 animation effects are available if you want movement. Timers are responsive and retina ready, and the plugin includes .po and .mo files for translation.

Best for
