Spyderweb's Solution
Data-Driven Diagnosis: We analyzed Yoke’s product data (drop-off points, time spent) to pinpoint friction areas in the onboarding journey.
User-Centric Design: Based on the data, we redesigned the onboarding flow in Figma using:
- Shorter, multi-step forms with conditional logic
- Clearer instructions and tooltips
- Progress bar
- Mobile-friendly design
A/B Testing & Iteration: A/B testing of the new design allowed for data-driven adjustments to further optimize the onboarding experience.

Increased Influencer Acquisition: The improved onboarding process led to a 78% increase in the number of influencers successfully completing onboarding.
Reduced Onboarding Time: Influencers completed onboarding 3 times faster, with the average time dropping from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
Enhanced User Experience: Surveys revealed a 25% increase in influencer satisfaction with the onboarding process.
