Build a countdown banner bar for my website. Match my existing design system, colors, and fonts. STRUCTURE - A full-width bar with: a short message naming the deadline event, a live countdown (days, hours, minutes, seconds as labeled blocks), and one CTA button. - Stick it to the top of the viewport. COUNTDOWN - The event is a sale ending: message like "Summer sale ends in", CTA "Shop now". Adapt to my business. - The timer updates every second, client-side, computed from the visitor's clock against the fixed end datetime (store the end date in one config constant). - When the countdown reaches zero, the whole bar disappears. Never restart it automatically and never fake the deadline: if the date has passed, the bar does not render. BEHAVIOR - Dismiss X hides it for the rest of the session (sessionStorage). - No layout shift when it appears or disappears. QUALITY - Timer digits use tabular numbers so the bar does not jiggle every second. - role="region" with aria-label; the countdown has an aria-live="off" (updating every second must not spam screen readers), with the deadline stated in plain text in the message for accessibility. - Compact on mobile: message may shorten, timer and button always visible. QUESTIONS - Before you build, find or ask for: the exact end date and time of the deadline (with timezone), what the deadline is for, and the URL the CTA button leads to. Check my project and site first; whatever you cannot find there, ask me for. Never invent these or ship placeholders. - If anything else about my brand or content is unclear, ask me before inventing.
What it does
A countdown bar puts a live ticking timer at the top of your page, counting down to a deadline you set: a sale ending, a launch, a price going up. Deadlines get people moving, and a timer ticking right in front of them is hard to ignore.
- You set one end date, and the timer counts to that exact moment on each visitor's clock.
- At zero, the whole bar disappears; it never restarts, and a date already passed never shows.
- Dismissing it with the X hides it for the rest of the visit.
- Fake countdowns burn trust fast, so the code makes them impossible. Your visitors only ever see a clock that means it.
How it works
- 1Pick where it lives, stuck to the top of the screen or at the top of your content.
- 2Pick the deadline, a sale ending, a launch, or a price bump.
- 3Copy the prompt, the ready-made instructions for your AI, into whichever AI you use.
- 4Your AI rebuilds the bar in your site's colors and fonts, with the day, hour, minute, and second blocks ticking every second.
- 5Set your real end date in the one marked spot in the code, and the timer counts to that exact moment on each visitor's clock.
- 6Before shipping, test what happens at zero: the whole bar should vanish, and a date in the past should stop it from showing at all.
What you can customize
- Where does it sit: top keeps it stuck on screen while people scroll; inline places it at the top of the page and lets it scroll away naturally.
- What is the deadline: sale ending, launch or drop, or price going up. Each comes with matching words and its own button, like Shop now or Get notified.
- Words, colors, and the offer itself adapt to your business, because your AI builds the bar right inside your own design.
