What is the Delay Popup?

The Delay Popup component is a sophisticated yet simple tool designed to display content to your users after a specified time delay. Think of it as a polite way to get someone's attention - instead of immediately interrupting their browsing experience, it waits for the perfect moment to present your message, offer, or call-to-action.

This component is incredibly versatile and can be used for various purposes: newsletter signups, special offers, important announcements, cookie consent notices, or any other content you want to ensure your visitors see without being too intrusive right when they land on your page.

How it works: Once you add the Delay Popup to your Framer project, you can customize when it appears, where it's positioned on the screen, and how it looks. The popup will automatically show up after your specified delay, creating a smooth and professional user experience that doesn't feel jarring or annoying.

• Customizable Delay: Set exactly when you want the popup to appear, from instant to several seconds after page load

• Flexible Positioning: Choose from 9 different positions - corners, edges, or dead center of the screen

• Overlay Options: Add a background overlay with customizable color and blur effects to focus attention on your popup

• Smart Scroll Prevention: Automatically prevents background scrolling when the popup is active, keeping users focused on your content

• Show Once Feature: Optionally display the popup only once per user session, preventing annoyance from repeated views

• Spring Animations: Beautiful entrance and exit animations that feel natural and polished

• Safe Spacing: Adjustable padding ensures your popup never gets cut off at screen edges, perfect for mobile devices

The Delay Popup shines in numerous scenarios. E-commerce stores use it to display limited-time offers or discount codes after visitors have had time to browse products. Content publishers use it to encourage newsletter subscriptions once readers have engaged with an article. SaaS companies use it to highlight new features or prompt users to complete their profiles.

Service-based businesses find it invaluable for booking appointments or scheduling consultations. It's also perfect for announcing important updates, collecting feedback, or promoting seasonal campaigns. The key is that it appears at just the right moment - after the user has had time to orient themselves but before they've decided to leave.

When implementing a Delay Popup, timing is everything. Too quick, and you risk annoying users who haven't even had a chance to see your main content. Too slow, and they might miss your message entirely. We recommend starting with a 2-3 second delay and adjusting based on your specific use case and user behavior analytics.

The position matters too. Center positioning is most attention-grabbing but can feel intrusive. Corner positions are less disruptive and work well for secondary messages. Consider your content hierarchy - important messages deserve center stage, while supplementary information can sit comfortably in a corner.

Use the blur effect sparingly. While it looks modern and helps focus attention, too much blur can make users feel like they've lost control of the page. A subtle blur of 5-10px is usually perfect for creating depth without being overwhelming.

Under the hood, the Delay Popup is built with performance in mind. It uses React hooks for efficient state management and Framer Motion for silky-smooth animations. The component automatically handles edge cases like users dismissing the popup before animations complete, or navigating away during the delay period.

The scroll prevention feature works by manipulating the document body's overflow property, ensuring compatibility across all modern browsers. The "show once" functionality leverages localStorage, meaning users won't see the popup again even if they refresh the page or return hours later (unless they clear their browser data).

Every aspect of the Delay Popup can be customized through Framer's intuitive property controls. Change the background overlay color to match your brand, adjust the blur amount for the perfect focus effect, or modify the padding to ensure your popup looks great on any screen size.

The position selector gives you complete control over placement with nine pre-configured options. Whether you want your popup in the top-left corner for a subtle notification style, dead center for maximum impact, or bottom-right for a chat-like experience, you're covered.

Always provide a clear way to close the popup. Users should never feel trapped by your interface. The component handles this by allowing clicks on the overlay background to dismiss the popup, but you should also include a visible close button within your popup content.

Keep your popup content concise. Users have limited attention spans, and a popup that requires scrolling defeats the purpose of focused communication. Aim for a message that can be read and understood in 5-10 seconds.

Test your popup on mobile devices. What looks perfect on a desktop might be too large or poorly positioned on a phone. Use the padding controls to ensure adequate spacing from screen edges, and consider using responsive design principles within your popup content.
