Popup cards

Give every hotspot a card people can understand.

Add the right amount of context to the exact part of an image or map a visitor is exploring — without sending them to a separate page for every detail.

Context in place

Explain a feature, room, or location right beside the marker instead of making visitors hunt for a legend.

Media when it helps

Add an image, video, or short link when words alone are not enough to explain the detail.

Cards that adapt

Choose light, dark, or glass styling and let the card become a full-width panel on small screens.

What you get

  • Title and description for every hotspot
  • Optional image or video inside the card
  • CTA buttons for products, docs, and bookings
  • Light, dark, and glass card themes
  • Hover, click, focus, and touch behavior
  • Percentage positioning that stays aligned on mobile

A card should answer the next question

A good popup is not a second landing page. It answers the question that appears when someone notices a specific part of the visual: What is this? Why does it matter? What should I do next?

01

Name the detail

Use a short, specific title that makes sense out of context.

02

Add the useful detail

Write one or two sentences that explain the visible thing.

03

Show it when needed

Use a supporting image or video for anything visual or procedural.

04

Offer a next step

Link to specs, a booking page, a product, or a deeper guide.

Interactive product diagram example

The markers in this example are real focusable controls. Hover or focus one to preview its card, then use the same pattern for product diagrams, floor plans, venue maps, or shoppable photography.

Popup, map view, or lightbox?

Choose the action based on how much information belongs behind the hotspot. Popup cards are best for quick context. Map views are useful when a point needs geography or directions. Lightboxes give a detail its own focused space with more room for media.

Cards that work on phones

On desktop, a popup can sit beside the marker and stay lightweight. On a phone, the same card becomes a larger tap-friendly surface so descriptions, media, and buttons remain readable. Because the marker is stored as a percentage of the image, it does not drift as the layout changes.

On phones, hotspots become tap targets and the popup opens as a full-width card.

Build the visual once, keep the cards current

Publish one iframe into Wix, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, or custom HTML. When a title, card image, link, or description changes in the builder, the published experience updates everywhere it is embedded. Start with the interactive image maker or explore the companion lightbox experience.
