How to Set up a Lightbox Overlay

 

A lightbox overlay is an overlay that appears on top of the page’s content while it dims the rest of the webpage and makes it inactive. Thus, the Overlay attracts the full attention of website visitors. With Picreel, setting up a lightbox overlay is straightforward, allowing you to highlight special offers announcements or gather email subscriptions easily.

 

Lightbox overlay helps you unlock the following benefits:

 

  • Highlight Offers: Shine a spotlight on special deals or announcements to grab visitor attention.
  • Boost Subscriptions: Convert more site visitors into email subscribers with a compelling call to action.
  • Engage Visitors: Provide a focused message to engage visitors directly, improving the user experience.

 

Here’s an example of what a lightbox popup looks like:
