Interactive Tooltips & Modals: Elevate UX with CSS & JavaScript (2025 Guide)

Tooltips and modals are small UI components, but they can dramatically improve (or hurt) the user experience depending on how they’re built. I just published a complete guide that shows how to design interactive, accessible, and high-performing tooltips and modals using modern CSS and JavaScript.

🎨 What the guide covers

  • How to create interactive tooltips with pure CSS
  • When to use JavaScript for better control
  • Modal patterns that improve usability
  • Accessibility rules most developers overlook
  • Animation techniques for smooth UI interactions
  • Real-world UX mistakes and how to fix them

If you want to build cleaner, more intuitive UI components, this guide is for you.
