Countdown timer block for time-sensitive campaigns

A block that displays a countdown timer, ideal for landing pages or homepage banners during time-limited promotions, product launches, or special events.

Key Features:

  • Set start and end time/date (optional start time allows pre-visibility setup)

  • Live countdown in days/hours/minutes/seconds

  • Custom message or call-to-action (e.g. “Hurry! Only 2 hours left!”)

  • Option to hide block after countdown expires

  • Styling options (colors, font size, etc.)

Why it's useful:

  • Increases urgency and improves conversion rate during flash sales, limited-time offers, or product releases.

  • Reduces manual workload for the marketing team by automating visibility.

  • Enhances user experience and drives immediate action.

Who would benefit:

  • Marketing teams managing campaigns and product launches

  • Customers looking for deals or new releases

  • E-commerce managers needing easy visibility tools

    Hi Christian, thanks for the feedback!


    We see the countdown timer as a fairly common need, especially for e-commerce campaigns. If a partner builds it, it risks fragmentation with different quality levels, lack of updates, or compatibility issues over time.

    By providing a simple, built-in version, we ensure a consistent experience for all users without relying on custom solutions.


    Happy to discuss more if needed!

    Why is this in the Page Editing (beta) topic?

    Personally a block with this functionality should be made by a partner. Maybe Litium can make this block, but i don't see the general use case for this for other partners.
