What is a Side-pop on a B2B Website?

A side-pop is a type of modal that appears on the side of a webpage. Unlike traditional modals, a side-pop doesn't disable all other content on the page, which means visitors can continue to browse a site without being forced to take the specific action highlighted in the modal.

Why You Should Use Side-pops on Your B2B Website

Here are just a few of the benefits of leveraging side-pops on your B2B website:

Facilitate Seamless Information Delivery

Side-pops enable you to effortlessly communicate information to clients without redirecting them to a new page or opening a separate window.

Enhance Message Visibility

Side-pops ensure that your key messages, promotions, or deals are prominently showcased and noticeable.

Efficiently Utilize Space

Instead of occupying valuable real estate on crucial pages, you can save space by placing media or information within a side-pop, maintaining a streamlined and uncluttered design.
