Onboarding Copy

온보딩 문구

Instead of "Welcome! Let's start your amazing journey," tell the user exactly what to do first.

Also known as: Welcome flow copy

js
const bt = document.getElementById('bt'), bw = document.getElementById('bw');
const gt = document.getElementById('gt'), gb = document.getElementById('gb'), gw = document.getElementById('gw');
const L = {
  ko: { bt: '환영합니다! 최고의 경험을 시작해보세요', bw: '기분은 좋지만 다음 행동이 없음', gt: '이름을 입력하고 시작해요', gb: '이름 입력하기', gw: '지금 할 행동 하나로 바로 연결' },
  en: { bt: "Welcome! Let's start your amazing journey", bw: 'feels nice, no next step', gt: "Let's start with your name", gb: 'Enter your name', gw: 'leads straight into one clear action' },
};
let lang = 'ko';
function paint() {
  const t = L[lang];
  bt.textContent = t.bt; bw.textContent = t.bw; gt.textContent = t.gt; gb.textContent = t.gb; gw.textContent = t.gw;
}
paint();
setInterval(() => { lang = lang === 'ko' ? 'en' : 'ko'; paint(); }, 2600);

An onboarding screen isn't a sales pitch — it's the place that triggers the **first action**. "Welcome! Let's start your amazing journey" feels nice but never says what to click next.

Effective onboarding copy is task-oriented: "Enter your name," "Invite your first teammate" — one specific, doable action right now. For multi-step flows, showing "1 of 3" makes the remaining effort predictable.

The demo's ✕ ends on an exclamation; ✓ leads straight into the button the user should press.

When to use

On first-launch or post-signup screens, lead the sentence with the one action to take now, not an exclamation.
