Add a countdown to any page or post for a sale, launch or event. Build one in a click, or customise every part of it.

== Description ==

Simple Countdown Timer adds a countdown to any page or post - for a sale that ends on Friday, a product launch, a webinar, or anything else with a deadline.

Build a timer in one click with a target date, or take control of the title, the wording shown when it finishes, and how each segment looks. Place it anywhere with a shortcode.

A deadline people can see is the difference between "this is cheaper" and "this is cheaper until Friday". That is the whole point of the plugin.

== Features ==

* Quick timers - pick a date and get a working countdown in one click.
* Custom timers - full control over the setup.
* Timer title, and the heading tag it uses.
* Custom text shown once the countdown reaches zero.
* Hide the segments you do not need, such as seconds or days.
* Adjustable segment width and spacing.
* Place any timer with a shortcode.

== Pro ==

Pro is for when a finished timer should do something rather than sit at zero, and for sites running more than one countdown at a time.

* Redirect visitors somewhere else the moment a timer finishes.
* Show a sign-up form instead of an expired countdown, and keep the list of who signed up.
* A timezone per timer, rather than one for the whole site.
* Custom colours for every part of the timer.
