The Onboarding screens are essential for guiding new users through account creation and first-time setup within a web application. They set the tone for the product experience, helping users quickly understand value, provide necessary information, and complete key actions to get started.

Key Features

• Multiple flows: sign-up, account creation, and initial setup questions

• Support for different authentication methods (email, password, social logins, QR codes)

• Progressive disclosure with step-by-step forms

• Personalization options based on user input (e.g., goals, preferences)

• Visual reinforcement with illustrations, graphs, or product previews

• Responsive layouts optimized for desktop and mobile

• Smooth transitions between steps for reduced friction

Design Considerations

• Keep input fields minimal in early steps to avoid overwhelming new users

• Provide clear progress indicators (steps, checkmarks, progress bars)

• Use welcoming visuals, copy, and colors to build trust and excitement

• Ensure accessibility for all input fields and interactive elements

• Provide consistent spacing, alignment, and button placement for familiarity

• Handle errors gracefully with inline validation and clear messaging

Usage Guidelines

• Use onboarding to guide users toward immediate value (activation point)

• Break down long forms into smaller steps to improve completion rates

• Offer alternative sign-up methods to reduce barriers (e.g., Google, GitHub)

• Personalize follow-up screens (e.g., “What do you want to achieve?”) to collect meaningful data

• Avoid unnecessary distractions—focus only on what’s needed to start

• Provide a clear way to skip or revisit onboarding if appropriate
