A sale that ends Friday. Free shipping this week. Planned maintenance tonight. The fastest way to tell every visitor is a slim bar at the top of the page, not a pop-up they'll close without reading.
Heralda puts that bar on your site in a couple of minutes, and gets out of the way. Pick a design, write your message, set the dates, and publish. No page builder, no pop-up library, no bloat.
Try the live demo: a real WordPress site with a sample bar already published. No install needed.
Two bar types
- Announcement: site-wide notices, news, shipping updates or maintenance windows.
- Promo with countdown: a live timer counting down to your offer's end date. Urgency built in, with no extra plugin.
Set it and forget it
- Scheduling: set a start and end date, and the bar appears and disappears on its own. Plan your Black Friday bar in October.
- Page targeting: show a bar on every page, or only on the pages you pick.
- Dismissible: visitors can close the bar, and it stays hidden for as many days as you choose.
- One bar at a time: if several bars qualify, Heralda shows the most recently published one, so your site never looks cluttered.
- Call-to-action button: add a button with its own text and link, in an Outline, Solid or Pill style.
Looks right in one click
- 4 design presets (Minimal, Bold, Corporate, Playful) that set a matching style in one click. Everything stays editable afterwards.
- 8 colour presets (Dark, Light, Royal Blue, Emerald, Crimson, Violet, Amber, Slate), or your own colours via the colour pickers.
- Top or bottom, sticky or static, in a full-width or floating (inset, rounded, with shadow) style.
- 6 built-in icons (megaphone, bell, gift, star, fire, tag) to catch the eye.
- Typography: your theme's font or sans-serif, serif, monospace or bold condensed, plus normal, bold, uppercase or italic text styles.
- Entrance animation (slide in or fade in) and left or centre alignment.
- Start from a template: text only, text with a badge icon, or text with a highlights list.
- Live preview: see the bar update in the editor as you change its settings.
Fast and privacy-friendly
- Loads only where needed. The bar's CSS and JS are enqueued only on pages where a bar will actually show.
- No jQuery on the front end. A small vanilla JavaScript file handles everything.
- No cookies, no tracking, no external services. The dismissed state is stored in the visitor's own browser (
localStorage), and nothing is sent anywhere.
- Works with any theme. Heralda doesn't depend on your theme calling
wp_body_open, so classic and block themes alike are covered.
- Place it anywhere. Use the
[heralda_bar id="123"] shortcode to embed a bar inside a page's content.
