Description

Countdown Zero is a browser-based countdown builder for creating fixed-date and evergreen timers for launches, registrations, promotions, lead-generation funnels and other deadline-based campaigns.

Instead of keeping the timer dependent on a hosted SaaS platform, Countdown Zero exports each campaign as a self-contained JavaScript file. Host the finished script on your own website, server or CDN and add it to supported pages with a single script reference.
What You Can Create

Fixed-date countdowns:
Count down to one shared date and time for every visitor, regardless of their location.
Visitor-based evergreen timers:
Begin a personalized deadline when an individual first enters a campaign.
Session countdowns:
Keep a timer active for the duration of a visitor’s current browsing session.
Daily and weekly campaigns:
Reset an offer according to recurring time rules.
Page-load timers:
Start a new countdown whenever the campaign page is loaded.
Inline timers:
Place a countdown within a page’s existing content or layout.
Announcement bars:
Combine a deadline, supporting message and call-to-action button in one responsive campaign element.

Visual Design System

Six structural recipes:
Choose from Classic, Split, Spotlight, Editorial, Promo and Minimal compositions.
Brand Smart Palette:
Select one primary brand colour and generate a coordinated palette with contrast-aware text and button choices.
Colour presets:
Begin with a predefined visual direction when a custom palette is not required.
Three bar frames:
Display campaigns using edge-to-edge, contained or floating layouts.
Nine timer styles:
Present countdown units through different theme-aware treatments, including flip-clock and progress-ring designs.
Four CTA families:
Choose Solid, Outline, Soft or Minimal button styling with coordinated hover behaviour.
Inline containers:
Place inline timers inside transparent, soft-card, outline or dark-card surfaces.
Curated motion:
Use no animation, subtle digit movement or attention effects tied to genuine deadline stages.
Reusable style presets:
Save visual configurations independently from campaign timing and apply them to future projects.

Responsive Smart Fit

Countdown Zero includes responsive controls designed to keep the message, timer and call to action readable across desktop and mobile layouts.

Automatic spacing adjustments:
Tighten the component before moving it into a stacked layout.
Mobile stacking:
Arrange the message, countdown and button vertically on smaller screens.
Optional stacking control:
Disable the default behaviour when a particular layout needs to remain horizontal.
Background testing:
Preview the timer against light, dark, neutral or custom page backgrounds.
Reduced-motion support:
Respect visitors who prefer reduced interface animation.
