How might I design an onboarding website that feels centralized, seamless, and interactive — giving new hires everything they need in one place, while reducing confusion and downtime?
Research & Discovery
I analyzed three in-depth user interviews to discover the current pain points of the current onboarding experience. I found that users had three main issues:
Key onboarding documents were hard to find → causing delays in starting required tasks.
IT support was difficult to reach → leading to prolonged technical issues and frustration.
New hires felt socially disconnected → making it harder to integrate into company culture.
Why this mattered: These pain points cost the company productivity and slowed down overall team performance. By addressing them, I could improve first-day experiences, build stronger engagement, and help new hires ramp up faster.
Designing & Prototyping
Low-Fidelity Wireframes:
- Built five key pages (Home, Tasks, Company Essentials, IT Support, Your Team) to cover the full onboarding journey from paperwork to team connection.
- Placed training videos and key resources under relevant sections to eliminate guesswork.
- Added a global navigation bar so new hires could access any page instantly, reducing time wasted hunting for links
High-Fidelity Prototype & Style Guide:
- Designed a fully responsive experience so employees could onboard from any device, anywhere.
- Applied consistent colors and typography that aligned with company branding to create a familiar, welcoming look and feel.
- Checked for WCAG compliance to ensure accessibility for all employees from day one.
