How to add Progress Bars to a JouwWeb website

Embed Progress Bars on JouwWeb

01

Create a Progress Bars plugin for JouwWeb on Common Ninja

First, create a JouwWeb Progress Bars plugin on Common Ninja. On the plugins catalog, find the Progress Bars and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Progress Bars plugin

When you're done creating the Progress Bars plugin, 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 Progress Bars Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Progress Bars plugin to your JouwWeb 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 plugin embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your JouwWeb website.

04

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

Next, go to your JouwWeb 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 JouwWeb’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Progress Bars Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Progress Bars plugin on your JouwWeb 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 Progress Bars plugin on your JouwWeb plugin. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your JouwWeb 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 Progress Bars plugin to your JouwWeb website. You can do this by putting it straight into your JouwWeb website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Progress Bars widget when you need to show completion, growth, or performance in a way that is instantly understood. Animated bars make abstract numbers feel concrete by visualizing how close something is to a goal. This is useful for fundraising targets, project phases, skill levels, feature adoption, or any scenario where progress motivates action. Visitors can grasp status in seconds without reading explanations. The bars also add motion and structure to otherwise static sections, improving visual engagement. When placed near calls to action, progress indicators can increase participation by showing momentum, urgency, or the value of contributing to reach the next milestone.
