How Do You Make a Pop Up Window in Webflow?

by

Popup windows can be a great way to grab your website visitor’s attention and deliver important information or call-to-action messages. With Webflow, creating pop up windows is a breeze, thanks to its intuitive interface and powerful features. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of creating a pop up window in Webflow.

Step 1: Create a Modal

To create a pop up window, we will be utilizing Webflow’s modal component. Start by adding a div element to your page where you want the pop up window to appear. Give it a class name, such as “modal”.

<div class="modal"></div>

Step 2: Add Content to the Modal

Inside the modal div, you can add any content you want to display in the pop up window. This can include text, images, forms, or even videos.

<div class="modal">
    <p>This is the content of my pop up window.</p>
</div>

Step 3: Style the Modal

To make your pop up window visually appealing and match your website’s design, you can apply custom styles to the modal class using CSS or Webflow’s built-in styling options.

<style>
    .modal {
        background-color: #ffffff;
        border-radius: 10px;
        padding: 20px;
        width: 400px;
        box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    }
</style>

Step 4: Trigger the Modal

Now that you have created and styled your pop up window, it’s time to trigger it. Webflow provides various options to trigger the modal, such as a button click or a timed delay.

  • Option 1: Button Click

    • If you want the pop up window to appear when a button is clicked, you can use Webflow’s interactions feature. Add a button to your page and give it a class name, such as “open-modal”.

    <button class="open-modal">Open Pop Up</button>

    In the Webflow Designer, go to the interactions panel and create a new interaction. Choose the “click” trigger and select the modal as the Target element. Set the interaction to show/hide and choose “show” for the action.

  • Option 2: Timed Delay

    • If you want the pop up window to appear after a certain amount of time, you can use Webflow’s interactions feature with a timed delay. Select the modal element and go to the interactions panel. Create a new interaction with a timed delay trigger and set it to show/hide with “show” as the action.

Step 5: Publish Your Site

Once you have finished creating and styling your pop up window, make sure to publish your site for the changes to take effect. You can do this by clicking on the publish button in Webflow’s designer interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully created a visually engaging pop up window in Webflow. Experiment with different styling options and triggers to make your pop up window stand out and effectively engage your website visitors.
