Speaking at the conference
Better Onboarding
When new users arrive at your product, their onboarding experience is the process that welcomes and guides them. But, in the pursuit of optimizing acquisition, conversion, or completion rates, teams often reduce user onboarding to a brief, standalone flow, disconnected from the larger product and missing out on its potential to guide new users towards lasting success.
In this talk, you’ll get an overview of what it takes to design a better user onboarding experience through guided interaction. We’ll cover how onboarding fits into the user journey, the basics that underpin any good onboarding experience, and how guiding users through interaction is a more effective strategy than relying on passive instruction or unsupported immersion. At the end, you’ll recognise that designing a better onboarding experience helps you design a better product overall.
