# The Business Hours Block: Tell Visitors You’re Open, Right Now URL: https://pro.flexablock.com/the-business-hours-block-tell-visitors-youre-open-right-now/ Published: 2026-08-04T15:33:47+00:00 Updated: 2026-08-06T08:17:54+00:00 Author: admin # The Business Hours Block: Tell Visitors You’re Open, Right Now A seven-day opening-hours table that knows what time it is where the business trades, and says “Open now” or “Closed” before anyone works it out. [Part of Flexa Block Pro](https://pro.flexablock.com/) ## Opening hours are never written once You build a site for a bakery, a dental clinic, a garage. The hours go on the contact page, again in the footer, and once more in a stray paragraph. Then Saturday starts closing early, a holiday lands mid-week, and every change is three edits in three places — plus a message to you to make them. The Business Hours block keeps the whole week in one place and answers the question out loud. It reads the current day and time in the business’s own timezone, then puts an “Open now” or “Closed” line above the table — and says when that changes. **The full week, live status on.** The dot pulses while the doors are open; today’s row is highlighted.

Plus the usual spacing, colour and responsive controls, so it matches your design instead of fighting it. ## Finished, not just featureful The parts nobody thanks you for decide whether a site can be handed over and left alone. The status announces itself to a screen reader when it changes, and the “View all” toggle is a real button that works from the keyboard. Visitors who ask their device for reduced motion get the same information with the pulse switched off. Every colour comes as a light and a dark pair, so the table follows the page. The styling is worked out when you save the page, so the visitor’s browser has nothing to compute. ## Set up for where it goes **Compact layout, twelve-hour time, Call and Directions.** Today on top, the rest behind a toggle — the shape that fits a footer.

Fill the seven days, pick twelve- or twenty-four-hour time, choose whether the week starts on Monday or Sunday, and rewrite the status wording if the site speaks another language. The editor shows the same live status your visitors will get. No CSS, no shortcode. It sits in the same editor as the blocks you already use and shares the same spacing, colour and responsive controls — it just needs Flexa Block switched on alongside it. Hand the site over, and the shop can change Saturday’s hours itself, in one place. ## Put your hours where they answer for themselves One block holds the week, the timezone, the holidays and the live status.
