Create a unordered list container for countdown timer which display days, hours, minutes and seconds.

Add CSS on page for styling your countdown timer.

	list-style: none;downCount
	margin: 75px 0;
	padding: 0;
	display: block;
	text-align: center;
}
ul.countdown li {
	display: inline-block;
}
ul.countdown li span {
	font-size: 80px;
	font-weight: 300;
	line-height: 80px;
}
ul.countdown li.seperator {
	font-size: 80px;

	vertical-align: top;
}
ul.countdown li p {

}

Finally call plugin function on page and set countdown date with offset and callback countdown finish message.

	$('.countdown').downCount({
		date: '06/10/2018 12:00:00',
		offset: +10
	}, function () {

	});
