UX
Designing Onboarding for Completion, Not First Impressions
core99Labs Editorial Team4 min readSample Article
It's tempting to over-invest in the first screen of an onboarding flow, since it's the one everyone sees in a demo. But completion is determined by the weakest step in the sequence, not the strongest.
Instrumenting each step of onboarding individually — not just 'started' and 'completed' — makes it possible to see exactly where users disengage, and to test changes against that specific point of friction.
In our experience, the highest-leverage fixes are rarely visual. They're usually about reducing the number of decisions a user has to make before they see value.
