Frequently Asked Questions

Do UIXDraft templates include a countdown timer?

Yes. The bundle includes coming-soon pages, announcement bar timers, pricing section timers and checkout page countdown variants — all in vanilla JS.

How do I change the countdown target date?

Edit one line of JavaScript: change the date string in new Date('2026-12-31T23:59:59') to your target date and time. The timer updates automatically.

What happens when the countdown reaches zero?

You control the behavior. The template includes options to show a 'Sale Ended' message, redirect to another page, or hide the timer element when it expires.

Can I use a per-visitor countdown for urgency?

Yes. Store the timer start time in localStorage so each visitor gets their own countdown window that persists across page refreshes.

Is the countdown timer compatible with all browsers?

Yes. It uses standard JavaScript Date objects and setInterval — supported in every browser released in the last 10 years.
