A content-first approach to product onboarding

Jonathon Colman UX content design lead Intercom

Knowing your user’s story is central to a great onboarding experience – but how do you actually tell that story?

At some point you need to write the content of your onboarding: words, sentences, value props, the works. Ultimately, it’s the content that helps your users achieve their goals.That’s a lot of heavy lifting for just a few bits of text. As it turns out, writing your onboarding is a real job, and it’s often harder than you might think. The hardest part of all is figuring out where to start.

In this presentation, Jonathon Colman shares an approach and a few tools that make it easier to write a great onboarding experience.
