Introducing Countdown Widgets: Widgetbox's Countdown Pro

Widgetbox is excited to announce our newest addition to the Widgetbox Pro offering: custom countdown widgets!

The Countdown Pro Creator enables users to easily, without any coding, create custom countdown widgets that can be shared across the web and shared on Facebook. Creating your countdown is easy and there are several opportunities to personalize the widget (a full tutorial is coming shortly!):

- Set your widget's size: width and height
- Create your event: what are you counting down to?
- When is the date: set the date using our calendar
- Add a theme or custom background: you can upload your own photo or choose any of our available themes (birthdays, weddings, etc)
- Customize the clock: choose the look (flip, analog or digital) and position it
- Add a link to your website: great for driving traffic to your site, blog or brand!
- Add a finale: provide a message when the countdown concludes
