Benefits of having Timer on your website

Creating a sense of urgency

A timer can help create a sense of urgency and encourage users to take action before time runs out. This is particularly useful for sales, promotions, or limited-time offers.

Better engagement

A timer can make your website more interactive and engaging, providing users with a visual cue to keep them interested and focused on your content.

Boosting conversions

By creating urgency and encouraging users to take action, a timer can help increase conversions and sales on your website.

Providing information

A timer can be used to provide information about the time remaining until an event, a deadline, or the start of a new promotion, allowing users to plan their actions accordingly.

The Widget consists of 3 layers - Timer, Timer Area and Timer Label - with each one of them you can access a different part of the element, here are some of the best practices when editing:

 

Timer: background, size, and position of the whole widget

Timer area: area and font of the time property

Time label:  area and font of the digits

Remember about:

Timer Area and Timer Label possess shared styles, which means that changes applied to the individual Area or Label will transfer to the rest of the widget.
