How to add a popup to your website

Popups are a simple, effective way to attract visitors’ attention and guide them towards important actions. Our website management system lets you create and manage them without technical knowledge.

Why use a popup?

• Draw attention to important messages or actions.
• Increase conversions, such as sign-ups, downloads and purchases.
• Highlight temporary promotions or offers.
• Encourage visitors to stay and act.
• Communicate important updates directly.

When should it appear?

Choose a trigger that suits your goal:

1. As the page loads: Suitable for a major promotion, announcement or update every visitor should see immediately.
2. After a delay: Wait a few seconds to avoid interrupting visitors immediately. Useful for newsletter sign-ups and offers.
3. When leaving the page: An exit-intent popup can show a last-minute offer, discount code or reminder.

How do you create one?

1. Add an article, image or other element as you normally would on a page.
2. Select a “Popover” location: centre, left or right, depending on the layout. For example, place an image on the right and text on the left.
3. Your popup is ready.

How do you set its timing?

Use the template settings:

1. Open the page containing the popup.
2. Open the template settings.
3. Complete “Popup timeout” with a value in milliseconds: 1,000 ms equals one second. To trigger it when a visitor leaves, enter “exit” instead.

Exit intent does not work on touchscreen devices.
