Overview

The Objective was to create a comprehensive UX/UI onboarding style guide that enhances the client onboarding process and provides real-time branding updates across multiple screens within the banking product.

Execution

During my collaboration with the client, it became evident that the existing onboarding process for the product was inadequate and frustrating for clients. Many struggled to effectively integrate their branding into our product, leading to inconsistencies and dissatisfaction. Clients often relied on poorly designed solutions, such as hastily created PDFs that failed to accurately represent their branding needs. Others submitted Excel sheets with CSS specifications, but these frequently resulted in extensive revisions because the final output rarely matched their expectations. This disjointed approach not only hindered the onboarding experience but also created additional work for both clients and our team, underscoring the urgent need for a streamlined, user-friendly onboarding solution.

The existing guide fell short in effectively representing the company as a forward-thinking fintech provider in 2024. It lacked the clarity and precision necessary for clients to navigate the onboarding process confidently. Instead of empowering clients, the ambiguity led to misinterpretations and inconsistencies in branding, undermining the overall user experience.
The onboarding process was designed to be fully interactive and dynamic, allowing clients to see real-time updates as they made changes. As clients adjusted their branding elements during onboarding, all preview screens updated instantly, providing a clear visualization of how their selections would appear throughout the product. This system not only offered a tangible representation of their brand integration but also served as a comprehensive guide for the entire platform, which includes over 144 features and states. By creating this living style guide, we empowered clients to make informed decisions and ensured consistency across all facets of the product, ultimately enhancing their overall experience and satisfaction.
In our onboarding guide, we focused on the most frequently used features of the banking software: Login, Dashboard, and Online Account Opening. By showcasing these essential screens, clients could easily visualize how their branding adaptations would appear in the context of the product. This targeted approach not only demonstrated the immediate impact of branding changes but also ensured that clients were equipped with practical examples to reference throughout the onboarding process. By providing clear visualizations of these key user interactions, we aimed to facilitate a smooth and effective transition for clients, helping them integrate their brand seamlessly while ensuring a consistent user experience across the platform.
Conclusion

This project taught me valuable lessons about the onboarding process and design execution. In hindsight, I would have prioritized user research to influence our approach. While the current process is functional, it creates unnecessary challenges for developers who must navigate Figma files in development mode. Moving forward, I plan to focus on establishing CSS libraries to ease their workload. Additionally, while the guide effectively addresses branding, it could better showcase UI elements. A more balanced representation would enhance its utility. Overall, I’m proud of the progress we made and how far the project evolved, and I look forward to applying these insights to future endeavors.
