Pop-Ups That Aren't Annoying?

I spotted Instant Attention ages ago and thought it sounded interesting, despite the fact that it was based on pop-ups.

After seeing them on other peoples websites I was won over, for three reasons:

1) They looked smart
2) They didn't annoy me
3) I actually found myself reading the text in the pop-up

I've started using these pop-ups on The Nettle Magazine and on PayPershop. You can see an example of the pop-ups at:

I had some problem installing the pop-ups on PayPerShop, but the support forum was very helpful in fixing the problem (which was due to a style sheet conflict).

If you would like to try these for yourself, click below:

More recently, a software version of the technology has been released. I haven't tried it, but it should be fine if you're looking for a one-time outlay, rather than a subscription-based model.

It's worth a look. If you don't use pop-ups because you think they're evil, this might just change your mind.
