Adding a Number Counter

You get a number that counts up when visitors scroll to it, with a prefix, suffix and separator if you want them. Use it to make a key figure stand out, such as patients served or projects delivered.

Number counter showing 250,000+ with a comma thousand separator

Add a number counter

Open your page while logged in: the builder controls appear when you hover the content area. Your first page shows the basics.

  1. Hover the column and click + in its control bar, or click Add Elements on an empty page. Open the Content tab and click Number counter. It lands at the top of the column and its settings dialog opens.
  2. Type the End number to count up to, in digits only. Here we use 250000.
  3. Add a Suffix, such as a plus sign.
  4. Choose a Thousands separator. Here we pick Comma.
  5. Set the Speed in milliseconds. Higher values count more slowly. Here we drag it to about 3000, which is 3 seconds.
  6. Click Save in the dialog. Then click Save in the toolbar at the top of the content area to store the page.

What you see

The number counts up to the end number you typed, with your suffix and separator. In the video, it counts to 250,000+ in 3 seconds.

The count runs once, when the counter comes into view. In the editor, it runs right after you close the dialog. To watch it again, place the counter below the first screen, open the saved page and scroll down to it. Visitors see it once you save the page and it is published.

Set up your number counter

Hover the element and open More > Settings in its control bar. Options:

  • Start: the number the count begins at. The default is 0.
  • End: the number the count stops at. The default is 100.
  • Font size: the size of the number in pixels. The default is 30.
  • Speed: how long the count takes, in milliseconds. The default is 2000.
  • Thousands separator: None, Comma, Dot or Space between groups of thousands.
  • Prefix: text before the number, such as $ or €.
  • Suffix: text after the number, such as % or +.

If you don't see it

  • Number counter is not in the Content tab. Your user profile hides it. Ask an administrator to tick Counter under Elements in User Profiles.
  • It is gone after you reload. The page was not saved. Add it again and click Save in the toolbar at the top of the content area.
  • The number stops at 100. End still has its default value. Hover the element and open More > Settings, then type your own number.
  • The number appears but does not count. It already counted while it was in view, perhaps right after the page loaded. Preview does not restart it. Place the counter below the first screen, reload the saved page and scroll down to it.
  • The page still shows the old number. The change was not saved. Click Save in the toolbar at the top of the content area, then reload.
