Countdown

A countdown timer toward a target date and time, with a heading, subheading, and optional button — built for urgency around a sale or launch.

The Torquex Countdown section on a dark background: a heading "The trail-rig drop ends soon", a short subheading, four bordered cells — each an orange number above a small uppercase label for days, hours, minutes, and seconds — and an orange "Grab the offer" button.

Key settings (in the section’s settings):

Setting	What it does	Default
Heading	Headline above the timer.	”Countdown timer”
Subheading	Supporting line beneath the heading.	”Create urgency around an offer or event!”
Show countdown timer	Toggle the timer on or off.	On
Target date	The date to count to, format `YYYY-MM-DD`.	2026-12-31
Target time	The time to count to, 24-hour `HH:MM`.	00:00
Time zone	GMT offset for the target date/time.	GMT+00:00 (London)
Button label / Button link / Button style	Optional call to action (Filled or Outlined).	”Grab the offer” → /collections/all
Color scheme	Section colors.	scheme-1
Top padding / Bottom padding	Vertical spacing around the section (0–120 px).	80 px each

When the timer reaches zero, the digit cells are replaced by a short “ended” message so the section never shows a stalled countdown.

Blocks: none.

When to use it: Drive action toward a fixed deadline — a flash sale, a product drop, or an event. For marketing patterns built around it, see Sections overview.
