Practical guide
How to choose a widget type
Think of widgets as small task helpers. A calculator gives a precise answer. A contact button shortens the path to enquiry. A comparison table makes options easier to scan. An accordion hides supporting detail until it is needed.
The weak version is adding a widget because a competitor has one. The useful version is adding it where it answers a question the page already creates.
What to check
- Calculators for date, price, size, delivery or eligibility questions.
- Accordions for dense help content and pre-sale objections.
- Comparison tables for packages, subscription tiers or service levels.
- Contact buttons for mobile-heavy service pages.
- Embed generators for reusable tools, forms and third-party pages.
