Public product demo
Accessible Event Countdown for WordPress.
Create transparent launch, registration, and maintenance countdowns. These examples use the same visitor-facing CSS and JavaScript shipped in version 0.3.0.
Three editor starters
One fixed instant, presented for different situations.
The dates and actions below are fictional demonstration content. Each timer has an explicit target, and every visitor counts down to the same instant.

Configurable states
The useful decisions are controlled in the editor.
Choose the theme and layout, show or hide seconds and the fixed-date label, add optional action links, and decide what visitors see at zero.
Keep zeroed timer
Keep the zeroed units visible while showing the completed-state content.
Hide the block
Remove the entire countdown after the target passes when no completed state is needed.
Honest target behavior
No personal reset or simulated scarcity.
The plugin requires an ISO 8601 target with Z or a numeric UTC offset. WordPress normalizes it to UTC so visitors in different time zones count down to the same moment.
