A classic modal overlay, in which you can include any content you want!
The modal structure is very simple:
modal-overlay: a transparent overlay for the modal.
modal: the main container
modal-content: a horizontally and vertically centered container, with a maximum width of 55% by default, in which you can include any content.
close-button: a simple cross located in the top right corner.

Modals are overlay windows that appear on top of a web page, dimming the background content to focus the user's attention on the modal content. They are typically triggered by user interactions, such as clicking a button or a link. Unlike standard web pages, modals require user engagement to close them—either by clicking a designated close button, clicking outside the modal, or selecting an option within the modal itself.
Modals draw attention to specific information or actions, minimizing distractions from the main content. This focus can be particularly useful for critical alerts, confirmations, or forms.

What Are Modals?
Modals are overlay windows that appear on top of a web page, dimming the background content to focus the
user's attention on the modal content. They are typically triggered by user interactions, such as clicking a
button or a link. Unlike standard web pages, modals require user engagement to close them—either by clicking a
designated close button, clicking outside the modal, or selecting an option within the modal itself.
Benefits of Using Modals
Modals draw attention to specific information or actions, minimizing distractions from the main content. This
focus can be particularly useful for critical alerts, confirmations, or forms.
- By using modals, developers can create interactive experiences without forcing users to navigate away from
their current tasks. This seamless interaction can improve user engagement and retention.
- Modals can efficiently present additional information, such as product details or image galleries, without
cluttering the main page. This allows users to access relevant content easily and quickly.
- Modals are ideal for notifying users of errors or confirming actions, such as deleting an item or
completing a purchase. By requiring user confirmation, modals help prevent accidental actions and enhance
the overall user experience.
- Modals can be designed to be responsive, adapting to various screen sizes and orientations. This ensures a
consistent user experience across devices, from desktops to mobile phones.
Common Types of Modals
- Information Modals: These provide users with important information or updates, such as terms of service,
privacy policies, or announcements. Information modals are often used for onboarding new users or displaying
site-wide notifications.
- Confirmation Modals: These require user confirmation before proceeding with an action, such as deleting an
account or confirming a purchase. They typically include options to either confirm or cancel the action.
- Form Modals: These allow users to fill out forms without leaving the current page. Form modals are useful
for tasks such as signing up for a newsletter or submitting feedback.
- These display images, videos, or other media in a focused view. Media modals are commonly used in
galleries, allowing users to view larger versions of images without navigating away from the main content.
- These alert users to issues or errors that need to be addressed. Error modals typically include a clear
message about the problem and provide actionable steps for resolution.
