Can I preview how timers will look?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm considering implementing countdown timers for my promotional campaigns, but I'm uncertain about how they'll actually appear on my website. I want to understand the visual design, placement, and user experience before committing to a specific implementation. What are the best ways to preview and test how these urgency-driven timers will look and function across different pages and devices?
