Creating design solutions for onboarding new users, and balancing business and user goals, to decrease drop-off and increase conversion rates.
We wanted to learn more about the current process, challenges, and business goals from the Founder, so we could better understand how to create an effective solution. We conducted a stakeholder interview with Founder, Grace Lang, to learn more about what the business is looking to accomplish, what’s currently working, and what needs improvement.
We noticed we’re losing significant numbers of users, dropping off at 66%, as well as the lowest completion rate at 34%. This is significant, as it’s showing up early on in the onboarding process.
We saw highest average time on page here, with users spending lots of time on this screen and not moving forward.
There is the highest drop-off rate out of all screens at 81%, along with a high average time on page.

Mentor List Page
“I’m overwhelmed with choices, and don’t have enough information to confidently find a mentor that would be a good fit.”
HMW give users the tools and information they need to “scan” mentors based on criteria they care about, and select on confidently?
Mentor Profile Page
“I don’t know enough about this mentor to decide if I want to chat with them.”
HMW present mentors in a way that allows users to confidently decide if they are “the one” they want to talk to?
