Popups are a powerful way to grab attention and engage users who visit your website on either a desktop or mobile device. Postscript makes it easy to customize both desktop and mobile popups to match the look and voice of your brand. With Postscript popups, you can:
Optimize your popup conversions by finding the best combination of popup creatives, timing, images, message copy, and incentives for your brand all through A/B testing.
Level up mobile and desktop customizations with cascading style sheets (CSS).
Further customize the look and targeting of your popups with side-images, banners, and exit-intent popups.
We designed this glossary as a reference to help you understand and locate the various HTML and CSS elements present in our popups.

Common HTML Elements in Popups
HTML elements help inform which parts of a webpage, or in this case your popup, the CSS code should impact.
For example, if I wanted to change the color of my text but have it only affect my h3 header and not other headers and smaller text, I would use the following code:
h3 {
color: purple;
