You can create a simple modal using pure HTML and css,no need of javascript and jquery,which will indirectly reduce time and work.

html-->
    <a href="#openModal">Open Modal</a>

   <div id="openModal" class="modalDialog">
   <div>    <a href="#close" title="Close" class="close">X</a>

        <h2>Modal Box</h2>

    <p>This is a sample modal box that can be created using the powers of CSS3.</p>
    <p>You could do a lot of things here like have a pop-up ad that shows when your    website loads, or create a login/register form for users.</p>
   </div>
    </div>

      css-->

   .modalDialog {
position: fixed;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);
z-index: 99999;
opacity:0;
-webkit-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
-moz-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;
pointer-events: none;
 }
 .modalDialog:target {
 opacity:1;
pointer-events: auto;
}
.modalDialog > div {
width: 400px;
position: relative;
margin: 10% auto;
padding: 5px 20px 13px 20px;
border-radius: 10px;
background: #fff;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
background: -o-linear-gradient(#fff, #999);
}

position: absolute;

I would NOT recommend jQuery UI - it's huge and overcomplex for that simple task. Here are some other plugins:

• ThickBox
• BlockUI
• jqModal
• Facebox
