Overview
Common Ninja's What's New Popup is an announcement widget for telling visitors about updates: a new service, a product launch, changed opening hours or a recent feature. It appears as a small popup or panel on your Squarespace site rather than a full-screen interruption.
What it does
- Lists recent announcements in one place
- Text, images and links in each update
- Position, colours and timing set in Common Ninja's editor
- Update the announcements in the editor without touching the site again
Who it suits
Software and app makers, studios and shops that release changes often and want returning visitors to see what is new.
Honest caveats
For a single message, Squarespace's built-in announcement bar or promotional pop-up may be enough. The free plan has usage limits and paid plans are billed yearly per widget, from $24 a year. It needs a Squarespace Core plan or higher.
