# Widget Categories: Basic

Use it to keep visitors informed, build interest, and encourage them to take action by letting them know when a sale, event or promotion is going to end, or when a new product, collection or page is going to launch.

2. Type a **Time's up message** that appears after the countdown ends.

**Note**

The long text field provides various text formatting options, such as italicizing, bolding, or underlining text.

* Select to **Show counter at 0000 and message beneath it**, or to **Remove counter and display message only**.

3. Type a **Title** for the countdown. To hide the title, click the **eye** **icon.**

Click the **layout** to change the way the countdown displays on your site.

Make sure the design settings you define are correct per device. Settings such as spacing, image size and more are defined per device. For more information, see [Edit by Device](https://help.booklikeaboss.com/en/articles/10357474-widgets-countdown).
