Counting Number Block

Description

This single-block plugin makes your numbers stand out by animating them while still keeping them SEO-friendly, accessibility-ready, and respecting the reduced motion mode. The number can be counted up or down.

This block performs one simple job: animating numbers. You can combine it with other blocks to fit any design.

Key features

• It can be counted up or down depending on the start value and the real value
• SEO and Accessibility ready – Screen readers will read the actual number value, not the animated one.
• It can be fit in any design
• Highly customizable with a large range of options like duration, separator, decimal, etc.
• You can animate it one time or multiple times whenever the block appears in the viewport
• You can provide a prefix and/or a suffix value
• The animated effect will not be shown in the reduced motion mode

Please take a look at these custom block patterns that use this block to see how it can be applied to real-world sites.

The developer was very responsive and helpful when I didn’t understand how to style it (using the block inspector settings). Thanks!

Really great number counter

EncodeDotHost August 16, 2023 1 reply

After testing a few different number counter block plugins, I found this one and haven’t looked back. It does exactly what is say on the tin, but also doesn’t over complicate things with trying to do everything and just sticks to being a great plugin. Highly recommend. If I could give 6*’s, I would!

Great plugin, better developer!

This plugin did almost everything I needed, super happy with it. And then the following day, it did everything I wanted as Phi had updated it to include my idea. I definitely appreciate when developers listen and respond, you are awesome Phi!

Works as expected, also animates on scroll, great! Would be helpful to have some active class on block while animating.

Perfecto, tiene las opciones necesarias para configurarlo a tu gusto.

Me ha gustado mucho, es sencillo, no genera pantallas internas de publicidad o de comprar la versión premium y hace justo lo que se necesita: animar números.Si además quieres complementarlo con algún icono tendrás que usar otros bloques para ello, he visto que el mismo autor tiene un bloque para a?adir imágenes svg que seguramente combinara a la perfección con este.

Does one thing, and does it well

Rich Tape March 22, 2023 1 reply

This is exactly the way, I believe, plugin developers should be embracing blocks. Do one thing, and do it well. Make it feel native, don’t go overboard with options (“decisions not options”), and keep it light. Excellent stuff.
