Hey. I want to talk a little about modal windows that jump out when I barely had time to go to the site: the content just appeared, and is already hiding behind a dark translucent curtain, over which is usually a useless advertisement.
An example taken at random
It is impolite . The user did not have time to see the site, as he already shoved a noisy ad unit, which I want to close as soon as possible.
This is not usable . The cross "close the window" is small; habitual Esc often does not work. Amazing effect: I went to the site and must make an effort to be inside and read or see what I came for.
The third weighty argument , designed to support the previous two.
Friends, let's respect visitors. I see the web as a tool for sharing information at a surprisingly high speed. Time is valuable. Techniques such as unsolicited modal windows are annoying and time consuming. If a person needs to, he will easily find a link to the group in Facebook or on the mobile application in the footer or in a neatly placed block to the right of the content column. Stick to friendly, polite, neutral ways to communicate with readers. ')
Thank you for listening.
