What can I use instead of a modal?
Consider Nonmodal Dialogs Instead
In situations where the task is not critical, a nonmodal dialog might be appropriate. Nonmodal dialogs are less offensive than modal ones because they allow users to continue their activity and ignore them if they are irrelevant.
Are modals good for UX?
All UX patterns have specialized case uses and functions, and UX modals are no different. In fact, they are the best functioning piece of UX pattern for announcing something important or making sure you have the full attention of a user/website visitor on a browser window.
Why are modal dialogs bad?
Modal windows are horrible, they interrupt the user's workflow, demand attention and block important information on the screen. The belief is that when users see a modal, they get scared and completely forget what they've been doing.
Are modals SEO friendly?
For example, cookie usage agreements, age verification popups, and login windows would all be considered modals. These are typically SEO friendly because these actions or notifications are important to the user experience.
