Countdown Timer
Deadlines drive decisions. A well-placed countdown timer creates undeniable urgency for your launches, sales, or events. Master Addons Countdown Timer is more than just digits – it’s a flexible, beautifully designed tool that you can tailor to any campaign. Choose which time units to display, from Years down to Seconds. Pick a layout that fits your design, then style every single part: each number block, the separators, and the labels. Whether it’s a flash sale, a webinar registration, or a product launch, this timer keeps your visitors focused and ready to act before time runs out.
Flexible Time Units & Layout Presets
Not every countdown needs Years, and not every layout is the same. Choose which time units are visible: toggle Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds on or off and customize their labels. Then, select a Style Preset: classic stacked Block layout, a compact Inline line, or organized Table formats. This ensures your timer fits perfectly in your hero section, sidebar, or promotional banner without unnecessary clutter.
- Customizable Units: Show only the relevant time units (e.g., just Days, Hours, Minutes for a sale).
- Multiple Layouts: Choose from Block, Inline, Block Table, or Inline Table to match your space.
- Clear Labeling: Easily rename labels from “Days” to “D Left” or “Hours” to “Hrs” for brevity and style.
Design Every Number Block Individually
Go beyond a one-color-fits-all timer. Style each time unit container independently. Set unique Backgrounds, Colors, and Typography for the Years, Months, Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds blocks. Want the “Days” to stand out with a different color? You can. This level of control lets you emphasize the most important part of the countdown and create a visually dynamic, polished element that catches the eye.
- Individual Block Styling: Give each time unit (Days, Hours, etc.) its own background color, gradient, or image.
- Typography Control: Set different font sizes, weights, and colors for the numbers in each unit.
- Hover States: Define how each block looks when hovered over, adding a layer of interactivity.
Complete Container & Text Styling
Make the timer a connective part of your page. Style the overall Common Style container: control its Width, Height, Alignment, Box Shadow, Background, and Border Radius. Then, fine-tune the Separators (like colons or slashes) and the Labels (“Days”, “Hours”) with their own colors, typography, and Text Shadow. With control over Margin and Padding at every level, you can integrate the timer seamlessly into any section.
- Professional Container: Add shadows, rounded corners, and background to make the timer pop.
- Separator & Label Design: Style the punctuation and text labels to complement your number blocks.
- Pixel-Perfect Spacing: Use margin and padding controls to achieve balanced, clean spacing inside and around the timer.
Frequently Asked Questions For Countdown Timer
Can I set the timer to a specific date and time?
Yes, absolutely. In the Countdown Date & Time setting, you can use the interactive calendar and time picker to select the exact moment your countdown should end (e.g., 2027-01-08 00:00). The timer will calculate and display the remaining time relative to each visitor’s local time.
What happens when the countdown reaches zero?
The timer will stop at 00:00:00. What happens next depends on your use case. Often, it’s used to close a sale or registration. You might want to pair it with other Elementor features (like Display Conditions) to hide/show content before and after the deadline. The element itself shows the expired state.
Is the timer responsive on mobile devices?
Yes, it’s fully responsive. The chosen layout (Block, Inline, Table) will adapt to smaller screens. You may want to adjust font sizes, container width, or switch to a more vertical layout (like Block) for mobile using Elementor’s responsive editing mode to ensure perfect readability.
Can I use this for a recurring daily countdown (like a daily deal)?
This timer is designed for a single, fixed end date/time. For a repeating daily countdown (resetting every 24 hours), you would need a different solution, often involving custom code. This element is ideal for one-time events, launches, or limited-time promotions.
Will the countdown work for visitors in different time zones?
Yes. The target date/time you set is typically interpreted based on the user’s local system time. When a visitor loads the page, the JavaScript calculates the time remaining based on their computer’s or phone’s clock. This ensures the deadline is accurate for everyone, everywhere.
What’s the best layout for a large, prominent timer in a hero section?
For a big, bold hero section, the Block or Block Table presets are usually best. They display the time units in distinct, often stacked blocks that are easy to read from a distance. You can then increase the font sizes and container padding to make it a major focal point.
