A custom HTML widget is a piece of code that, when added to a webpage, can display a variety of interactive elements. This could range from simple text boxes to complex calculators or real-time data feeds. By embedding custom HTML widgets into your B12 website, you can add features that aren't natively supported by B12 and tailor your website to your specific needs and target audience.
What is a custom HTML widget?
A custom HTML widget allows you to create tailored, interactive elements on your B12 website. This feature is ideal for users who need specific functionalities or designs that aren't available in B12's built-in widgets. By embedding custom HTML code, you can bring your unique vision to life.
How to acquire custom HTML widget embed code
There are two ways to acquire a custom HTML widget embed code:
1. Developer-provided code
If you're working with a developer, they'll provide you with a specific HTML code snippet.
2. Online widget generators
Many websites offer free widget generators that allow you to create custom widgets without writing code. These tools provide user-friendly interfaces to customize your widget's appearance and functionality. Once you've finished creating your widget, the generator will provide you with an embed code that you can add to your B12 website.
