What is a Popup Site Page?

 

A popup page is a general term.  Usually it's a page that opens a new browser window with some specific information.  Usually these windows are smaller and float over the page you are currently viewing.  Popup pages are best known for presenting special offers or important information to your visitor.

Popup pages have a reputation for annoying visitors to your site. We strongly suggest you refrain from the use of popup pages. Furthermore popup pages are aggressively blocked by many browsers including Internet Explorer, AOL, Firefox and many others.

 

NOTE: Many browsers automatically block popups

 

How do you create a popup page?

 

You create a popup page just like any other page.  Click here to learn how to create a Site Page.

 

Once the popup page is created it is generally linked to a trigger of some sort.  You can trigger the popup page when a visitor enters or exits a normal site page.  You may also link the popup page to any Site Menu item or Hyper Link in the Rich Text editor.

 

You may have a popup page on the Entry AND Exit of any one site page.
