Pop-Up Maker

Pop-Up Maker

The pop-up maker is used to build ‘Pop-Ups’. These are text boxes that appear over-layed in front of the web page. You can see an example of this here.

 

When to use Pop-Ups

Pop-up maker was intended for creating ‘interstitial pop-ups’ for those sites which are required by contract or regulation to announce when sending a user to an external site.

There are also marketing opportunities for using pop-ups, such as increasing participation in surveys, special announcements and newsletter sign-ups.

We recommend using pop-ups for marketing extremely sparingly. By their nature, pop-ups interrupt the user’s experience. They are frequently identified by users as being annoying or a reason to leave the website.
