To create a pop-up in Webflow that appears in the middle of the homepage and stays there until closed, you can follow these steps:

Design the popup content: Create the design and layout for your pop-up using Webflow's visual editor. You can add text, images, buttons, or any other elements you want to include in the popup.
Create a new div block: In the Webflow designer, add a new div block element to your page, preferably outside the main section or container. This div block will serve as the container for your pop-up.
Set the position and dimensions: Select the div block and go to the Styles panel. Set the position to "Fixed" and set the dimensions to match the desired size of the popup. You can set a fixed width and height or use percentage values to make the popup more responsive.
Center the popup: To center the pop-up vertically and horizontally, go to the Flexbox settings in the Styles panel. Set both the vertical and horizontal alignment to "Center."
Add interaction triggers: Select the button or link that will trigger the popup and add an interaction to it. In the Interactions panel, create a new interaction and set it to display or show the div block you created in step 2.
Add an exit or close button: Inside the div block, add a button or link element to allow users to close the popup. Create a new interaction for it to hide the div block when clicked.
Customize additional behavior or styling: Depending on your needs, you can further customize the behavior and styling of the popup. This includes animations, delays, background overlays, or other effects to enhance the user experience.
Test and publish: Before publishing your website, test the popup's functionality and appearance across different devices and browsers. Ensure that the popup appears and functions as intended before making your site live.

By following these steps, you can create a pop-up in Webflow that appears in the middle of the homepage and stays there until closed. Remember to make your pop-up visually appealing, relevant to your content, and user-friendly.
