Create stories for my store. Three story groups: "New Arrivals", "Behind the Scenes", and "Sale". Each with 2-3 colorful cards with text overlays.

Done! I've built three story groups with circular avatar thumbnails, gradient card backgrounds, text overlays, and a progress bar at the top. Visitors tap or click to navigate between cards, just like social media stories.

What Is a Stories Widget?

A stories widget recreates the popular tap-through stories experience — made famous by Instagram and Snapchat — directly on your own website. It displays a horizontal row of circular avatars that visitors click to open a full-screen-style card viewer. Each story group contains one or more cards that visitors navigate by tapping the left and right sides, with a progress bar at the top showing their position. Stories are used by brands, e-commerce stores, media sites, and portfolios to deliver bite-sized, visually rich content that visitors actively engage with instead of passively scrolling past. The familiar format means visitors already know how to interact with it — no instructions needed.

Why Add Stories to Your Website?

Leverage the most engaging content format on the internet

Deliver Bite-Sized Content That Holds Attention

Stories break your message into small, tappable slides that are easy to consume. Visitors process one card at a time instead of scrolling through a wall of text. The familiar swipe-through format keeps people engaged from the first card to the last.

Create Urgency and FOMO

The stories format inherently feels timely and ephemeral — even when the content is permanent. Visitors pay more attention because the tapping progression and progress bar create a sense of momentum. It's a proven engagement pattern borrowed from the world's most addictive apps.

Showcase Multiple Pieces of Content in One Space

Instead of a long page or a carousel that visitors skip, stories stack multiple images, text cards, and calls to action into a compact viewer. Highlight products, testimonials, announcements, or tutorials — all in a single widget footprint.

Everything You Need in a Stories Widget

The full stories experience wrapped in a simple, no-code builder

Circular Avatars with Ring Indicators

Display story groups as a horizontal row of circular avatars — just like Instagram. Each avatar can show an image, initials, or an icon. A colored ring indicates unseen stories, and the label underneath identifies each story group. Visitors instantly recognize the format.

Full-Screen Card Viewer with Progress Bar

When a visitor clicks an avatar, a full-viewport story viewer opens with a segmented progress bar at the top. Each segment represents one card. Visitors tap the sides to move forward and back, and the progress bar fills as they advance — the same interaction pattern billions of people use daily.

Rich Card Content

Each story card can contain images, background gradients, text overlays, and call-to-action buttons. Mix promotional content, product highlights, testimonials, and announcements across cards. The AI builds each card to your specifications — just describe what you want on each slide.

E-Commerce Product Launches

Announce new products through a series of story cards. Show the product from different angles, highlight key features, and end with a "Shop Now" call to action — all within a tappable story experience.

Restaurant & Cafe Menus

Showcase daily specials, behind-the-scenes kitchen shots, and featured dishes as stories. Each story group can represent a category — appetizers, mains, desserts — with mouth-watering card images.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the stories widget

What is a stories widget?

A stories widget brings the Instagram/Snapchat Stories experience to your own website. It displays circular avatars that visitors click to open a full-screen-style viewer with cards they tap through. Each story can contain images, text, and calls to action. The progress bar at the top shows how far through the story the viewer is.

What kind of content can I put in each story card?

Each card can contain an image, a background color or gradient, text overlays, and call-to-action buttons or links. You can mix different content types within the same story. Just describe what you want on each card and the AI builds it.

Can I have multiple stories with different avatars?

Yes. You can create as many story groups as you like, each with its own avatar image and label. Visitors see a horizontal row of avatars and click any one to open that specific story. This mirrors the familiar social media experience exactly.

How do visitors navigate between story cards?

Visitors tap the right side of the story to go forward and the left side to go back. On desktop, they can also click the left and right edges. A progress bar at the top of the viewer shows which card they are on. Stories can also auto-advance on a timer.

Will the stories widget slow down my website?

No. MightyWidgets loads asynchronously so it never blocks your page from rendering. Images within stories are lazy-loaded — they only download when a visitor opens that story. Your page loads first, then the story avatars appear instantly.

How do I add stories to my website?

Sign up for a free MightyWidgets account and describe the stories you want — how many story groups, what content goes on each card, and the visual style. Upload your images and the AI builds the widget for you. Request any adjustments, then publish and paste the one-line embed code into your site.

Do stories work on mobile?

Absolutely. The stories viewer is designed mobile-first — touch navigation, full-viewport display, and smooth animations all work perfectly on phones and tablets. The experience mirrors native mobile stories apps.

Is MightyWidgets free to use?

You can create and customize widgets for free with our Free plan. Credits are used when your published widget loads on a visitor's browser and when you use AI features. Upgrade to a paid plan for more credits, widgets, and features. Top-up credit packs are also available and never expire.
