Widgets are small components that enhance the functionality of your website. They provide on-screen user interface elements that ingrate with other platforms. For example, the social media icons seen around news articles are a type of widget. These enable the easy sharing of content with a small, embedded program.
Website Widgets also enhance the user experience by enabling your visitors to run tasks online without the need for human interaction.
Many free widgets help simplify your processes such as securing checkout, appointment reminders and reservations, and customer support.
Your users are more likely to interact with your website when it is easy for them to complete tasks for which they visited your site.
