Questions You Might Be Asking
Add an interaction that sets the body's overflow to hidden when the popup opens, then toggles it back to auto on close. In Webflow, you can do this via a second step in the same interaction — select Body as the target and change the overflow style. It's a small touch that makes the popup feel like a proper modal.
Opacity + visibility is smoother because you can animate the transition in and out. display: none removes it from the layout entirely, which is fine but kills any transition. The typical pattern is to set opacity 0 and visibility hidden in the base state, then toggle to opacity 1 and visibility visible on open.
That requires a small custom code snippet — Webflow interactions don't listen for keyboard events natively. Add a document-level event listener that checks for the Escape key, then triggers the close interaction via a click on the close element. It's 10 lines of JavaScript and a big accessibility win.
Not with pure Webflow interactions — that needs a cookie or localStorage check. Add a short script that looks for a 'popup-seen' flag in storage; if it's missing, trigger the popup and set the flag on close. Gives returning visitors a cleaner experience without hammering them with the same prompt every page load.
