FAQ: Countdown Timer for Websites
How do I add a countdown timer to my website?
Create your countdown timer on CountdownShare, click the embed button to copy the ready-made HTML iframe code, then paste it into your website where you want the timer to appear. It works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and any HTML page — no coding required.
Is CountdownShare free?
Yes. CountdownShare is free to create, share, and embed countdown timers with no signup required. A PRO plan adds custom branding, ad-free pages, evergreen per-visitor timers, and analytics for businesses that need more control.
Can I embed a countdown timer without coding?
Absolutely. You do not need any coding knowledge. CountdownShare generates a copy-and-paste embed code for you. Just paste the snippet into your site builder or page HTML and the responsive countdown timer appears instantly.
What countdown timer works best for landing pages?
For landing pages, use a compact embedded countdown timer placed near your headline or call-to-action button so the deadline directly supports the decision. CountdownShare offers responsive iframe embeds with 30+ themes, custom colors, and timezone sync, so the timer matches your page design and shows the same deadline to every visitor.
What's the difference between a countdown timer and a regular timer?
A countdown timer counts down to a specific future date and time (like a sale ending or a product launch) and runs automatically. A regular (duration) timer counts down a set length of time — such as 10 minutes — and starts when someone presses start. Use a countdown timer for deadlines and a duration timer for sessions.
Can I customize the colors and design of my countdown timer?
Yes. Choose from 30+ themes and customize colors, fonts, layout, and display options so your countdown timer matches your brand or campaign. PRO users can also remove branding and apply custom CSS for fully branded timers.
