What Is the Countdown Timer Widget?
A countdown timer widget displays a live ticking clock to a specific date or duration on your website, signaling urgency to visitors. Contractors use countdowns for limited promotions ("$500 off ends Friday"), seasonal booking windows, and project deadline trackers.
