Answer 1

First download popup from here http://www.jqueryscript.net/lightbox/Super-Simple-Modal-Popups-with-jQuery-CSS3-Transitions.html

Now paste this code where you want to show popup into your template

<style>
html {
  font-family: "roboto", helvetica;
  position: relative;
  height: 100%;
  font-size: 100%;
  line-height: 1.5;
  color: #444;
}

h2 {
  margin: 1.75em 0 0;
  font-size: 5vw;
}

h3 { font-size: 1.3em; }

.v-center {
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
  display: table;
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
}

.v-center > div {
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: middle;
  position: relative;
  top: -10%;
}

.btn {
  font-size: 3vmin;
  padding: 0.75em 1.5em;
  background-color: #fff;
  border: 1px solid #bbb;
  color: #333;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: inline;
  border-radius: 4px;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 1s ease;
  -moz-transition: background-color 1s ease;
  transition: background-color 1s ease;
}

.btn:hover {
  background-color: #ddd;
  -webkit-transition: background-color 1s ease;
  -moz-transition: background-color 1s ease;
  transition: background-color 1s ease;
}

.btn-small {
  padding: .75em 1em;
  font-size: 0.8em;
}

.modal-box {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  z-index: 1000;
  width: 98%;
  background: white;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #aaa;
  border-radius: 4px;
  box-shadow: 0 3px 9px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
  border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  background-clip: padding-box;
}
@media (min-width: 32em) {

.modal-box { width: 70%; }
}

.modal-box header,
.modal-box .modal-header {
  padding: 1.25em 1.5em;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

.modal-box header h3,
.modal-box header h4,
.modal-box .modal-header h3,
.modal-box .modal-header h4 { margin: 0; }

.modal-box .modal-body { padding: 2em 1.5em; }

.modal-box footer,
.modal-box .modal-footer {
  padding: 1em;
  border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.02);
  text-align: right;
}

.modal-overlay {
  opacity: 0;
  filter: alpha(opacity=0);
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 900;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;
}

a.close {

        $('#'+modalBox).fadeIn($(this).data());
    });  


$(".js-modal-close, .modal-overlay").click(function() {
    $(".modal-box, .modal-overlay").fadeOut(500, function() {
        $(".modal-overlay").remove();
    });

});

$(window).resize(function() {
    $(".modal-box").css({
        top: ($(window).height() - $(".modal-box").outerHeight()) / 2,
        left: ($(window).width() - $(".modal-box").outerWidth()) / 2
    });
});

$(window).resize();

});
</script>

Maybe this:

Html part in footer.php, css part in style.css and js part in main.js and that's it.
