The contact form is an effective way of generating leads within your own website. In Express PopUp Designer you can easily create functional and effective pop-up forms. The dynamic wizard allows you to create forms tailored to your website asking for customer data that will attract their attention.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to such elements as:
- appropriate selection of images and its size – large ads irritate users, the maximum recommended size should not exceed ⅓ of the screen;
- the time after which the pop-up will be displayed – too fast and rapid display of the pop-up may discourage the user from getting acquainted with its content and may result in leaving our website;
- message – it should be clear, concise, catchy and without hidden intentions, that successfully fulfils desired purpose;
- easy switch off – the icon enabling exit from the pop-up should be in a visible and intuitive place for the user.
