About MkWebTech CTA Studio
From the official readme · v3.1.1Description
Build conversion-focused CTAs, popups, sticky bars, floating buttons, and countdown timers in WordPress
MkWebTech CTA Studio is a WordPress call-to-action builder for creating inline CTAs, popup CTAs, sticky announcement bars, floating action buttons, countdown timer offers, and conversion-focused buttons without writing code.
Use it to promote limited-time offers, collect more clicks, highlight lead magnets, drive visitors to sales pages, announce discounts, or add urgency with normal and evergreen countdown timers.
Unlike simple button plugins, MkWebTech CTA Studio includes a visual builder, live preview, device visibility controls, animation options, and built-in analytics for impressions, clicks, and conversion rate.
Perfect for bloggers, marketers, agencies, WooCommerce store owners, course creators, SaaS sites, and small businesses that need lightweight CTA blocks, promotional popups, floating quick-action buttons, and sticky bars that look polished and load from your own site.
Create CTAs That Match Your Campaign
Choose from four practical CTA display types:
- Inline – Embed CTAs directly inside posts and pages
- Sticky Bar – Show a top or bottom announcement bar across your site
- Popup – Display timed popup CTAs with overlay and close controls
- Floating Buttons – Add icon-focused floating action buttons for phone, WhatsApp, social links, and quick actions
Countdown Timer and Evergreen Urgency
Create urgency for launches, sales, webinars, coupons, product drops, booking deadlines, and seasonal campaigns.
Timer options include:
- Normal countdown timers with a fixed end date and time
- Evergreen countdown timers for visitor-specific campaigns
- Cookie, browser storage, and session-based evergreen detection
- Restart options for evergreen campaigns
- Timer expiry actions including hide, message, and redirect
- Smooth timestamp-based frontend timer rendering to reduce skipped seconds and visual jumps

Frequently asked questions
Can I place sticky or popup CTAs using shortcode?
Yes. Shortcode works for all CTA types. Sticky and popup CTAs are safely rendered in the footer so fixed positioning is not broken by theme content containers.
Can I create countdown timer CTAs?
Yes. You can add countdown timers to CTAs and choose between a normal fixed-date timer or an evergreen timer for visitor-specific urgency campaigns.
What is an evergreen countdown timer?
An evergreen countdown timer starts for each visitor based on the detection method you choose, such as cookie, browser storage, or session storage. This is useful for automated campaigns where each visitor should see their own deadline.
Does the timer stay accurate if the browser tab is inactive?
Yes. The frontend timer uses timestamp-based rendering instead of decrementing seconds, so it syncs from the target time when the tab becomes active again.
Can I track CTA performance?
Yes. MkWebTech CTA Studio tracks impressions, clicks, and conversion rate inside WordPress.
Does the plugin send data to third-party services?
No. CTA stats are stored in your WordPress database. Frontend assets are served locally from your site.
Where are impressions and clicks stored?
In the custom database table: wp_mkwebtech_cta_stats (prefix may vary by installation).
Can I control where CTAs appear by device?
Yes. Each CTA includes desktop, tablet, and mobile visibility controls.
What happens to data on uninstall?
On plugin delete (uninstall), CTA posts, related meta, and stats table data are removed permanently.
