When I first started using Google Sites, I was building a quick site for a big music festival.ย No hosting headaches. No plugin drama. Justโฆ publish and go. Loved it. So did the client.But then came the one thing I couldnโt do: A countdown timer.If youโve used Elementor or other site builders, you know the drill: Drag, style, done. Google Sites? Nothing. Not even a basic timer.So, like any of us would - I Googled it. Found a few embeddable optionsโฆ and they looked fine. But every single one had the same problem: They relied on external scripts.So I built my own. Hard-coded a timer that was clean, fast, no external scripts.It worked. But updating it? Nightmare. Want to change the date? Edit code. New color scheme? Code. Reusing it on another project? Yep - code again.So I made it a widget.Now it's simple as:๐ Pick a date๐จ Choose colors๐ Copy the code๐ Paste into Google SitesIf you run events, launches, webinars, or limited-time promos - this oneโs a must-have.
