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 this short tutorial where I will show you how easy is to add a milestone countdown timer feature to your WordPress website.
Interested?

Hey Zed,
Excellent training subject. I can see its usefulness already.
I have a question: in lesson three, you show a screen shot of the plugin date and expiry date. Also shown is the circle, which is labeled smooth. After that, nothing is filled out. Are these default settings?

The date must be picked using the calendar feature shown in the screenshot ... Which obviously, it's a relative date (variable) so there is no default setting for that option ...
As far as I remember, the smooth anymation type is the first option in a drop-down list, so yes, you could say that is a default option.
