Countdown Timer for Google Sites

For launches, events, or that birthday sale you totally didn't forget.

When I first started using Google Sites, I was building a quick site for a big music festival.
No hosting headaches. No plugin drama. Just… publish and go.
Loved it. So did the client.

But then came the one thing I couldn't do:

If you've 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 options… and they looked fine.
But every single one had the same problem: delay.
They relied on external scripts, and the lag made everything feel off.

So I built my own.

Hard-coded a timer that was clean, fast, no lag.
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:

• 📅 Pick a date - Choose when your timer should end.
• 🎨 Choose colors - Match your brand or site design.
• 📋 Copy the code - One click to get your custom timer.
• 🔌 Paste into Google Sites - Add it anywhere on your page.

Boom - live, lag-free, mobile-friendly countdown.

Works beautifully.

If you run events, launches, webinars, or limited-time promos - this one's a must-have.
