Guidance should be effective
Posted: Thu Feb 06, 2025 8:10 am
The longer your onboarding time is, the less likely you are to leave your users empty-handed in the end.
For example, a project management application can allow users to have an overview project that they share with all relevant team members.
Or, if you’re an email app, a getting started guide could walk users through cleaning up their inbox. That way, users can accomplish the things they care about while learning to use your app.
Remember, a good onboarding experience makes users happy. Nothing is more motivating than experiencing the ultimate value of a product in just a few minutes.
Example: Webflow
At Webflow , we developed the following onboarding canada mobile database experience. First, we understood who our users were so we could customize their experience:
Next:
Once they sign up, we immediately put them into the web design tool so they can experience the power of the app firsthand. We don’t want to buffer this experience with a long, boring video.
But after 30+, we knew they would be overwhelmed by the complexity of the app, so we were forced to open a menu to automatically display our video lessons. Each video guides you through the necessary steps to become a power user.
