How to add Countdown Bar to a Site123 website

Embed Countdown Bar on Site123

01

Create a Countdown Bar app for Site123 on Common Ninja

First, create a Site123 Countdown Bar app on Common Ninja. On the apps catalog, find the Countdown Bar and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Countdown Bar app

When you're done creating the Countdown Bar app, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Countdown Bar Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Countdown Bar app to your Site123 website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the app embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Site123 website.

04

Paste the code to your Site123 website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Site123 website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Site123’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Countdown Bar Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Countdown Bar app on your Site123 website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Countdown Bar app on your Site123 app. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Site123 website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Countdown Bar app to your Site123 website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Site123 website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Countdown Bar widget when you run time sensitive campaigns and want visitors to act before a deadline. The bar stays visible across the page and shows a live ticking timer, which makes urgency real and concrete. You can connect it to limited offers, product launches, seasonal sales, events, or early bird pricing so that people understand exactly how long they have. This reduces procrastination and encourages decisions during the visit instead of later, when interest may fade. You can also pair the bar with a direct call to action like a button or link so that the path from moment of urgency to conversion is short and intuitive.
