[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A progress bar is a powerful indicator that tells users how much progress they\u2019ve made with a certain task or skill. It informs them about the remaining download and loading times, or how much money has been gathered in a fundraiser they took part in, and much more.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]Progress bars are practical and provide feedback that makes users feel engaged and motivated to stick around until the fulfillment of their goals. They see the progress they\u2019ve made through a specific process, and they\u2019re highly driven to fully complete it. That sense of accomplishment activates some feel-good chemicals in their brains so they become happy and content with themselves. Furthermore, a progress bar annihilates a sense of anxiety users can experience when they\u2019re about to start a multi-page online survey, as it tells them exactly how long the survey is or how many questions they have yet to complete.

We will show you how to do it by using the Qi Addons for Elementor<\/a> plugin. Furthermore, we will also talk about adding a reading progress bar to your posts with the help of the Worth the Read plugin, in case you\u2019d like to inform users about the reading progress they\u2019ve made. And since there are also some premium themes on the market that allow users to build progress bars without having to use a plugin, we will walk you through that process as well and use our Bridge theme<\/a> as an example.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”]
