How to add Progress Circles to a ButterCMS website

Embed Progress Circles on ButterCMS

01

Create a Progress Circles component for ButterCMS on Common Ninja

First, create a ButterCMS Progress Circles component on Common Ninja. On the components catalog, find the Progress Circles and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Progress Circles component

When you're done creating the Progress Circles component, 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 Circles Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Progress Circles component to your ButterCMS 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 component embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ButterCMS website.

04

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

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

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ButterCMS 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 Circles component to your ButterCMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ButterCMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Progress Circles widget when you want to display progress or completion with a clean, compact visual that stands out in modern layouts. Circles work especially well for dashboards and summaries because they fit tightly into cards, columns, and mobile screens. They can represent percentages, stages, or levels at a glance, helping visitors understand status without reading detailed text. This is ideal for KPIs, fundraising, onboarding steps, course completion, or service performance. Animated fill adds subtle motion that draws attention to your metrics. Clear progress circles reduce confusion, make goals feel tangible, and can motivate users to keep moving forward when progress is part of their journey.
