If you’re working with a custom website (not using Shopify, Wix, or Squarespace), you’ll need to decide how to configure the ArtPlacer Widget.

This article will walk you through the two available coding options (JavaScript and HTML) so you can choose the one that best fits your website setup and your level of coding experience. Don’t worry, both methods can be generated easily with ArtPlacer’s Widget generator, and we’ll explain when to use each one.

JavaScript

• Choose this code if you have coding knowledge.

• JavaScript code is a programming language that enables websites to execute different tasks. Most third-party widgets and tracking codes are written in JavaScript, so almost all platforms support JavaScript on their websites.

• You can add the widget to the pages you select using a JavaScript code snippet you create using ArtPlacer’s Widget generator.

• Using JavaScript gives the developer complete control over how, where, and when to install the widget.

HTML

• Choose this code if you have minimal coding knowledge.

• HTML is a universal coding language used for web pages.

• Using HTML is a good option if you have some knowledge of HTML and your platform allows editing the HTML code. 

Note: Additional coding skills might be necessary when planning a Dynamic Integration.

• You can add the widget to the pages you select using an HTML tag snippet you create using ArtPlacer’s widget generator.

• Depending on your website’s characteristics or theme, using HTML as a widget configuration method might not be compatible with your website.
