A bar that does more than tell
Not just a line of text: add a call-to-action button, an email capture field, a live countdown, or a set of messages that rotate. One bar, as simple or as active as the moment needs.
Announcement bar for any website
The announcement bar that actually converts
Amabrik puts a bar at the top or bottom of your site for the one thing every visitor should see: a sale, a launch, free shipping, a deadline. Add a button, an email field, a live countdown or a set of rotating messages. One snippet, any language.

The problem
The thing they must see is buried in the page
You have one message that matters most right now, a sale ending tonight, free shipping over fifty, a launch, and it is somewhere down the page, if it is there at all. The most-seen part of your site is the top, and it is saying nothing. Here is what the research shows.
- Nielsen Norman Group: attention drops off a cliff below the fold: 74% of viewing time is spent in the first two screenfuls. What sits at the very top is what gets seen. source
- CXL Institute: an authentic countdown, tied to a real deadline, lifts conversions by 20 to 35%. A live timer in a bar is the simplest honest way to do it. source
- Baymard Institute: unexpected costs, shipping most of all, are the number one reason carts are abandoned. A bar showing a free-shipping threshold answers it before checkout. source
- NRF: free shipping is the incentive shoppers say makes them most likely to spend more. A threshold bar turns that into a bigger basket. source

How it works
Three steps to a bar that gets seen
Write the message, set the rules, paste one snippet. No code, no theme to edit, no plugin that fights your layout.
-
Write your message
One line, or a few that rotate. Add a button to a page, an email field to capture signups, or a countdown to a deadline. Put it at the top or the bottom, sticky or not.
MessageSetCTA buttonOnCountdown timerOnRotating messages3 -
Set the rules
Schedule it to start and end on its own for a sale, choose who sees it and on which pages, and let people dismiss it so it does not nag. Style it to your brand and your visitor's language.
position: "top, sticky" schedule: "ends Sun 11:59pm" pages: "all" dismiss: allowed -
Embed with one snippet
Paste one snippet on any site: WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Framer or a custom build. The bar is live, it does not push your layout around, and any email it captures goes straight to your CRM, never stored by us.
Live on yoursite.com Scheduled to end Sunday
More than a line of text at the top
A button, an email field, a live countdown and rotating messages, scheduled and targeted, on the most-seen strip of your site, from a single snippet.
Top or bottom, sticky
Pin it to the top or the bottom of the page, sticky so it stays in view as people scroll, and it never pushes your layout around or shifts the page as it loads.
A countdown to a real deadline
Put a live timer on a sale, a launch or a shipping cutoff. A real, ticking deadline is the most honest kind of urgency, and the one that actually moves people to act.
Rotating messages
Run several messages in one bar that rotate, so a sale, a shipping offer and a launch all get their moment at the top without three separate bars.
Captures emails to your CRM
Turn the bar into a signup: an email field sends new subscribers straight to Mailchimp, Brevo or any webhook, forwarded the moment they join and never stored on Amabrik.
Scheduled, targeted, dismissible
Set it to start and end on its own for a campaign, show different bars on different pages or audiences, and let visitors close it so it asks once, not on every page.
Matches your brand, any language
Your colors, your wording and your button, with the message shown in each visitor's own language, served automatically. It looks like part of your site.
One snippet, no pageview caps
It is one widget in the same Amabrik plan as your cookie banner, forms and chat, on every page, with no cap on how many people see it.
What you can announce
One bar, for whatever matters most today
From a sale to free shipping to a launch to an important notice. The right message at the top of the page, changed in seconds, all from one snippet.
A sale or promo codeSale
Twenty percent off, a code, a flash deal. The offer that matters most right now, at the very top where it gets seen, with a button to the page that sells it.
Free shipping over a thresholdShop
Free shipping over fifty. The single most effective line in ecommerce, shown on every page so a basket grows to reach it.
A product or feature launchLaunch
Something new is live. A bar announces it to every visitor at once, with a button straight to it, the day it ships.
A deadline with a live countdownUrgency
Ends tonight, ends Sunday, last day for delivery by the weekend. A ticking timer turns a real deadline into action.
An email or waitlist signupGrow
An email field in the bar that quietly grows your list on every page, with each address sent straight to your CRM.
An important noticeNotice
A delivery delay, holiday hours, planned maintenance. The thing people need to know, said once, at the top, before they ask.
A rotating set of messagesRotate
A sale, a shipping offer and a launch taking turns in one bar, so each gets the top spot without crowding the page.
A page or audience-specific barTargeted
One message on the pricing page, another on the blog, a third for returning visitors. The right line for where they are.

It is a slim bar across the top or bottom of your website that shows your most important message to every visitor: a sale, a launch, free shipping, a deadline. Amabrik's does more than text, you can add a call-to-action button, an email capture field, a live countdown, or several messages that rotate, and it stays in view as people scroll.
A message (or a few that rotate), a call-to-action button to any page, an email signup field, and a live countdown timer for a deadline. Mix them as you like: a plain notice, a promo with a button, a signup bar, or a sale with a ticking clock.
Yes. Set a start and end time and the bar appears and disappears on its own, so a weekend sale or a launch announcement runs itself with no need to remember to turn it off. You can also target it to specific pages or audiences.
Either: pin it to the top or the bottom, sticky so it follows as people scroll. It is built to sit cleanly without shoving your page down or causing a layout shift as it loads, so it never hurts your design or your Core Web Vitals.
Yes. Add an email field and the bar becomes a quiet signup on every page. New addresses are sent straight to your CRM or email tool (Mailchimp, Brevo or any webhook) and are never stored or logged on Amabrik.
Yes. Target a bar to specific pages, or to audiences like returning visitors, so the pricing page, the blog and the homepage can each carry the message that fits them, all from the same widget.
Yes. You set the message per language and the loader serves each visitor the right one automatically, so the same bar speaks to every market you reach.
No. You write the message, set how and when it shows, and paste one snippet on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Framer or a custom build. The editor uses the same simple tabs as every other Amabrik widget, and the banner is the one the rest are modeled on.
