Should I use modal or new page?
Modals are a good fit if your users often switch between products and the interactions are limited. New page is a good fit if the interactions are various and somewhat complex, but you do not ease switching to other projects.
When not to use a modal?
5. Do not use modal dialogs for nonessential information that is not related to the current user flow. As discussed above, modal dialogs have numerous disadvantages and costs to users. In order for these costs to be justified, their relevance to the task and importance should be high.
Are modals good web design?
Modals are disruptive by design. They tend to appear unexpectedly in the flow of the browsing experience, and always shift focus away from their parent window. This is a high cost for the user, so modals should always assist the user in their goals, not obstruct them.
Is it acceptable to open a modal popup on top of another modal popup?
Using a modal on top of another modal is a big red flag that something broke down in your workflow. If your workflow requires a second modal, you probably have some bigger issues with complexity within your modal. Remember: some of the best use cases for modals are focused, simple content.
