In the world of the internet there is an eternal evolution of terms, buzzwords and changes. One of the most popular in the last number of years has been the use of ‘widgets’ as well as ‘gadgets’. It’s often a challenge to try to keep up on these terms, but in the world of widgets and gadgets there are distinct differences between the two that can make your life easier.

A ‘gadget’ is typically designed by a company and is considered proprietary. In other words, you can use the gadget but only on that company’s sponsored websites or pages. A ‘widget’ is designed to be easily used on any website. You don’t want to be tied down by a gadget requirement, so looking for a ‘widget’ is the direction you should be going to.

Much of the concern that people have is that they need to be experienced webmasters to add a widget to a website. Electro-Mech has taken all of the worry out of this by creating very simple and easy to use online access to create a countdown widget or scoreboard widget to add to your website.

There is no need to feel like you have to have the in-depth experience of a webmaster, because we have done all of the work for you.

There are two different types of countdown scoreboards to choose from, a vertical or horizontal view. You select your favorite team from the drop down menu and hit the ‘Get Code’ button.
