If you’re working on a new website or app idea the first thing you should be thinking about is your onboarding screens.

These screens need to be simple but to the point, remember users want to get into your app as soon as possible.

As a designer, you need to think of the easiest ways to explain what your app does, when users get done signing up to your app their focus shifts.

They want to see what your app has to offer, not go through a lengthy on boarding process.

Something to keep in mind is giving your users the option to “skip” the whole onboarding process, some of your users might want to figure everything out on their own and you need to cater to that.

The point of onboarding screens is to help your potential users understand what your app does and why they should be using it.

Here are three onboarding screens I’ve created for my startup Chad!

Screen 1

Screen 2

Screen 3

Breakdown

On each screen, I have a card that explains the visual above each card. I then offer a skip, previous button and next button options for the user to use at their disposal.

To top it off all off I added the three little … at the bottom of the card so the user can visually see how long the onboarding process is. I think this is CRUCIAL to the onboarding designs you need to communicate with your potential users that your onboarding process is short, sweet and to the point.
