Service update template

A notice that stays until the owner takes it down.

Who it is for

For a service with a problem that wants to say so first: a slow checkout, a delay, an outage. A tall amber bar at the top of every page, square at its corners, carries an alert mark and an UPDATE badge before the words and a link to your status page at the end. It has no ×, so it stays until you take it down once all is well.

What visitors see

Its line
“Checkout is running slowly. We're on it.”
Its button

Then add it to your site

One line, pasted once, puts it on every page. Step by step for HTML, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and Next.js.

Questions

Something else? Write to us.

Will it push my page down?

Only if you choose Push it down. By default it sits over the edge and nothing moves. A header you fix to the top follows it with top: var(--widgetjoy-top-offset, 0px).

Does a closed bar come back?

Not for that visitor, until you publish again.

Can I schedule it for a sale?

Yes. Give it a start and an end; outside them, it is not shown.

Will it slow my site down?

No. It loads after your page has appeared.
