Modals

Modals disable page functionality in order to highlight information or isolate a required action.

Usage of Modals

Modals disable page functionality in order to highlight information or isolate a required action. Modals should be used sparingly, open only when initiated by the user, and should not pop up unexpectedly when the user is in the middle of a flow.

Exception: Exit intent or marketing offer modals that open automatically are acceptable when the user is idling on the page for an extended period of time.

Modal Sizes

On desktop, large modals have a max width of 568px and small modals are 368px wide. These widths align to our desktop grid. On mobile web screens, modals should always be 100% of the screen width (375px for standard iphone sizes). 

Desktop:
container-max-width: 568px
container-min-width: 368px
container-max-height: 560px

Mobile:
container-max-wdith: 100% 
container-max-height: 100%

Scrolling Modals

If modal content exceeds the container max height on desktop or mobile web, we switch to a modal with scroll functionality. For scrolling modals, the header and footer + CTA stick to the top and bottom of the container, and the information in the center scrolls up and down.
