WHY & HOW to add a milestone countdown timer feature to your Wordpress site
Let's start with the WHY part ...
The principle itself is pretty simple: a countdown timer feature can help you to efficiently showcase important achievements, anniversaries, upcoming sales events, product launches, etc.
It's a simple yet powerful, proven method that can help you to build anticipation and improve user engagement.
Here are a few simple, common scenarios:
- a cool "Coming soon!" page before launching a new website, product, service, etc
- during a site maintenance to let visitors know when your website will be available again
- when hosting a conference, a live webinar, a sales event, etc
- on birthdays, seasonal or limited-time holiday offers
And so on ... Once again, the only limit is your imagination ... You can display a cool, engaging milestone countdown timer in your posts and pages, or any widget-ready area ....
So I've decided to create a short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to add a milestone countdown timer feature to your WordPress website.

Hello Zed
I appreciate The great value that you bring to WA it would be really awesome if you can do video training also :)
Thanks for sharing Zed. I was looking at a couple of WP Notification Bar plug-ins that have good ratings. Would they do the milestone counter? Any input from anyone using any of these notification bars would be appreciated.

Hi Mark,
Each notification plugin comes with different features, but usually they don't provide countdown timers ...
