Callout

Instructions:

  1. To start, login to your portal and go to the Settings icon in the top right corner.
  2. Choose General from the menu. This will take you to the Widget Settings page.
  3. Select Slideout Tab from the Feature dropdown menu.

 

Slideout

This button sticks to the side of any page on your website that the Slideout Roof Quote PRO Script is installed. Clicking the button slides open the instant quote widget.

  1. Select Slideout Tab from the Feature dropdown menu located at the top of the Widget Tool Settings screen
  2. Expand the Slideout Tab section
  3. Set the fill color, font options, location and text of the "Instant Roof Quote" Button
    1. By default, the tab's text is "Instant Roof Quote." However, this may be changed to anything within a 32-character limit.
  4. Save your changes.

Best Practices for Slideout Tab

  • Use a fill color that complements your brand colors but also stands out from your website’s background.

  • The fill color does not need to match your website’s call-to-action buttons.

  • Use the same font as your brand settings—ideally matching or closely resembling your website’s main font.

  • Set the font size to a maximum of 24, unless a larger size causes the button to overlap or hide important elements on your site.

  • Ensure the font color contrasts well with the button’s fill color for maximum readability (e.g., use black on a bright button, or white on a dark button).

  • The slideout widget is most commonly placed on the right side of the screen. Only choose the left side if the right side is occupied by other important website elements.


 

PRO TIP: Need to disable the entire slideout widget on mobile devices? Use this <style> tag (or a variation of it) on your website.

<style>

    /* Hide the widget on screens below 768px width */

    @media (max-width: 767px) {

      #roof-quote-pro-widget {

        display: none;

      }

    }

  </style>

 

Callout

The Callout is the text box connected to the floating widget button. It is designed to grab the homeowner's attention when they visit your website or landing page.

NOTE: By default, the Callout is shown on desktops and tablets, where screen size allows for better visibility. To hide the Callout on computers, laptops, or tablets (e.g., iPads), turn off the "Show on Tablets and Desktops" toggle.

On the other hand, the Callout is not displayed on mobile devices by default, as it can take up too much space and impact the browsing experience. To show the Callout on mobile phones, turn on the "Show on Phones" toggle.

 

  1. Expand the Callout section
  2. Set the fill, outline, and font colors
    1. The fill color is the background color of the callout box
    2. The outline color is a thin color that outlines the callout box
    3. The font color is for the callout title and text 
  3. OPTIONAL: Edit the Callout Title and text to change the Callout Message.
    1. Callout Title is limited to 34 characters. Default text is "Need a roofing quote?"
    2. Callout Text is limited to 55 characters. Default text is "Get Your Price NOW!"
  4. Save your changes.

     

    Best Practices for Callout

    • Use a white or neutral fill color, and do not reduce the opacity.

    • Set the outline color to match the Instant Roof Quote Button.

    • Use the same font color as the Instant Roof Quote Button text.

    • Keep the default device display settings as they are.
