Announcement Bar for Wix

Local businesses need to say one thing, loudly, for a week: closed Boxing Day, last orders Friday, the shop shut because of snow. Then they need it to go away.

Announcement Bar is a notice strip for exactly that. Write the message, set when it starts and ends, and it looks after itself.

It stays out of your site's way. A top bar lives in the page: it moves your header down instead of floating over it, and when the notice retires the page closes up with no gap. Or pin it to the bottom of the screen.

Close it and it stays closed — for that message, permanently. Edit the wording and it comes back for everyone, because the dismissal is tied to what the notice says.

It works for visitors who are not looking at it: a landmark a screen reader can jump to, a 44px close button on Tab, and no animation for anyone whose device asks for less motion.

What it does not do: it is one message strip, not a pop-up, a cookie banner or a countdown. Your wording shows exactly as written, never translated. The free plan shows one bar per page — a widget can only see its own page.

Set it up in a minute in the editor. No code, no outside account, no script tags.
