The client, one of the largest insurance groups in Europe, is shifting from paper-based communications to a fully digital experience. After purchasing insurance, customers need to set up an account to access the online portal and receive digital communications—eliminating paper waste and reducing operational costs.
For confidentiality purposes, the client will be referred to as "Insurance".
After conducting UX research and aligning on best practices for user onboarding, we developed a modular flow that breaks account setup into three clear steps:
This structure provides transparency, prevents information overload, and informs users upfront of any necessary documents. Each step acts as a natural pause point, allowing users to exit and resume later without losing progress.
Since the core flow was fixed by compliance requirements, the design work focused on refining the details: simplifying complex steps with visuals, fine-tuning micro-interactions, and polishing copy for edge cases.
We adapted the designs across mobile, tablet, and desktop to ensure a seamless experience on all screen sizes. Throughout the project, we held weekly check-ins with the client, staying flexible to accommodate shifting requirements.
We also developed a comprehensive design system for both developers and the in-house design team, covering everything from visual styles to components. This system ensures a seamless and cohesive user experience across multiple applications, unifying the design language and maintaining consistency.
