Registration & Onboarding
Flow

gigmit is a digital platform connecting artists with promoters and venues, simplifying booking for live music events. As Product Designer & UX Researcher, I led a full redesign of the registration and onboarding flow to improve conversion and reduce drop-off.

Challenges

01

Increase registrations

Grow the number of users starting and completing the registration process

02

Reduce friction

Simplify the mobile-first flow by deferring non-essential fields and reducing cognitive load

03

Reduce drop-off

Lower abandonment before the PRO trial offer through clearer messaging and progress guidance

04

Align with business goals

Tighten the onboarding path to improve conversion from sign-up to trial and checkout

Process

I led research and iterative design across two workstreams to reduce friction and improve conversion.

1. Registration & Onboarding — Analysed traffic sources and onboarding metrics, then streamlined the mobile-first flow with deferred fields, a progress indicator, and a simplified PRO trial step. Validated each iteration through A/B testing and behavioural data.

2. PRO Trial Page — Used heatmaps, session replays, and funnel analysis to identify drop-off points. Simplified the form, reworked visual hierarchy, and optimised CTAs — with a mobile-first approach throughout.

What I learned

This project reminded me that onboarding is more than a starting point — it’s a chance to build trust, deliver value, and set users up for success. Even small, thoughtful changes in flow, clarity, and motivation can boost engagement. And often, the best results come not from reinventing the wheel, but from listening to users and applying proven best practices.
