Popup Workshop Pro (formerly Popup Toolkit)

Although highly contested as some of the most annoying elements on the Internet, popups are not all that bad, depending on the intended implementation. These can serve as a means of making sure only specific users have access to the content of a page, or used for advertising. A lot of effort and programming knowledge needs to be put into creating such elements, but Popup Workshop Pro simplifies the whole process to a few mouse clicks.

Next to every function there's a shortcut to the help manual that provides thorough details so you know your way around. The interface also helps with accommodation, with major edit areas being stored in tabs, a large workspace, as well as a real time updating preview section opened in a separate window that can emulate functionality for several popular web browser.

The application cleverly covers all areas needed to create a fully-functional and interactive popup for various needs. As such, scrolling through tabs gives you access general, design, behavior settings, popup content and its corresponding code so that you can insert it in your projects.

Customization is a strong feature, with the possibility to modify everything from content to visual design, equipping the popup with text, images for background and content, enabling borders, shadows, minimize or close buttons, as well as automatic closing and a lot more.

Remember to always keep the preview window up, because it updates for every minor change you make. There are also several controls such as the possibility to delete frequency control cookie, or fields where HTML code is displayed for elements.
