Announcement Bar + Countdown
A themed announcement bar with a live countdown, for sales, launches, and deadlines people actually notice.
The problem
Announcing a sale or a launch only works if people notice it — and notice it before it's over. A flat banner blends into the page after the first scroll, and most countdown widgets are a separate script embed that looks nothing like your site and quietly keeps counting after the deadline has already passed.
How do I add the Announcement Bar + Countdown widget to my Wix site?
Install Nateo from the Wix App Market, then add the Announcement Bar + Countdown widget to any page from the Wix Editor — no code required. Set it up in the widget's settings panel, and it automatically matches your site's fonts, colors, and corner radius. It works on every plan, including the free tier, and updates live whenever you change your site's theme.
See it live
Rendered live from the actual widget code, auto-themed to this page's colors.
How it works
Write the announcement
Set the message, the link, and the emphasis — sale, launch, or deadline — right from the widget's settings panel in the Wix Editor.
Set the countdown
Pick an end date and time. The bar counts down live, and you choose what happens at zero: hide, swap to a follow-up message, or keep showing without the timer.
It's themed and it's everywhere it should be
The bar reads your site's fonts and colors on load, pins to the top of every page you choose, and looks the same on mobile as it does on desktop.
Native & themed
Like every Nateo widget, Announcement Bar + Countdown reads your Wix site's theme — fonts, corner radius, and color palette — the moment it renders, and re-matches automatically whenever you update your site's design. There's no separate widget theme to keep in sync, and nothing to log into outside your Wix dashboard. How that works →
FAQ
What happens when the countdown ends?
You choose once, up front: auto-hide, switch to a follow-up message, or keep displaying without the timer. Nothing to remember to take down.
Does the countdown handle time zones?
Yes — you set the deadline once, and each visitor sees it counted down in their own local time, so nobody sees a timer that's already wrong.
Can I run more than one campaign?
Yes — save several announcements and switch which one is live, or schedule the next one to pick up right where the last left off.
Will it slow my site down?
No — the bar renders natively as part of your Wix page, with no external script tag or third-party countdown embed to load.
