Who would use this plugin?

WordPress websites that need to display timely notices on their website.

Why is my notice not displaying properly/not at all?

If you have a floating menu, or a complex WordPress theme, the Banner setting may not work well. Try using the Overlay or Leaderboard setting instead.

Who can I contact for support?

Send an email to support@orchestrated.ca. Make sure to include the word “SUPPORT” in the subject of the email.

Why choose Orchestrated WordPress plugins?

We’re a digital agency – so we too understand how annoying it is to find the perfect plugin for your client – only to discover that it’s riddled with call to actions, off-brand styling, error and other messages that distracts away from the seamless experience you’re trying to offer. As such, we develop plugins that don’t invade your dashboard or dashboard menus, and function as part of the overall WordPress experience.

Simple and quick to use, especially if in need of a quick emergency banner. Just what I needed!

Old age home

I used this plugin on a website for an old age home. As they have stricter covid protocols, the visual appearance and ease of use for website visitors were important to me. The plugin is an easy and simple but yet a welcome and powerful tool to quickly add a covid banner. Well done, guys!

Perfect!

Fast and Simple solution to my problem. My only suggestion is to stop the banner from showing on the page that I've specified the button to redirect to. I want it on every page, but not the one where I'm directing my users for more information.

User Friendly

That's a very useful feature. Just what the people need.

Clean and effective

Straight forward and quick to implement, just what we need at this time.

Perfect little tool to get the job done!

Simple, elegant, WordPress-y... Get your urgent message across about COVID-19 (or anything else, for that matter).

Works Great!

By lindsaykelly on March 19, 2020

Easy to get up and going in no time. As someone who has been inundated with requests to add COVID-19 response messages to many clients' websites recently, this has been a huge time-saver. Love it!

Simple to use, does the job

As the description says this isn't a plugin to compete with full-featured banner plugins. For quickly displaying a message related to what you're doing with the COVID-19 response though, it does the job!
