What happens after the countdown reaches zero?
The end of the countdown is just the beginning. You can choose from several powerful options: hide the timer entirely, show a message with a clickable call-to-action, or redirect visitors to any page you specify. It’s perfect for time-limited event campaigns, flash sales, or surprise announcements.
Which platforms support the plugin apart from WordPress?
This countdown is designed for universal compatibility. Whether you’re using a no-code website builder or a custom-built platform, the plugin integrates smoothly. Some popular supported platforms include:
Squarespace, Wix, HTML, Webflow, Shopify, Elementor, Google Sites, GoDaddy, and iFrame.
Is there a free version of the countdown?
Absolutely. Elfsight provides a Free plan that includes access to all features—no credit card is required. If your needs grow, you can upgrade anytime to a paid plan: Basic, Pro, Premium, or Enterprise, depending on your traffic requirements.
Do I need coding knowledge to use the plugin?
Not at all. The event-themed countdown is built with simplicity in mind—just copy and paste. No technical background is needed. Anyone can set it up in minutes using drag-and-drop builders or standard content editors, like WordPress.
Will the timer adapt to different time zones?
Yes. The plugin detects the user’s local time zone and adjusts the countdown accordingly. You can also choose a fixed time zone manually if you’re targeting a specific regional audience, like EST, PST, or CET.
