Drop-Offs → Growth

As lead designer at Coordinape, I uncovered why growth had stalled: admins were overwhelmed by jargon, unclear flows, and vague onboarding. I redesigned the homepage, overhauled the documentation, streamlined the signup process, and introduced a one-click invitation system.

These changes reduced friction across the funnel, drove a 90% increase in documentation traffic, decreased Discord support requests, and enabled over 3,000 new members to join Coordinape circles with ease.

The Challenge

Zakku and Zeem designed Coordinape to help Web3 teams reward contributors through peer-to-peer payments. But growth had stalled. Admins, the very people responsible for onboarding teams, were dropping off. Why?

Uncovering Blockers

I conducted usability tests with Web3 admins and analyzed application data to map drop-offs. Insights were clear: onboarding friction was killing adoption. Usability testing revealed:

  • There are too many questions in the signup forms.

  • Confusing terms like “circles” and “epochs” were unintelligible to newcomers.

  • Vague use cases on the homepage.

  • Users created “test circles” solely to determine how the product worked.

The product was powerful, but nobody could get through the front door.

Pragmatic focus

With limited developer bandwidth, I prioritized low-code, high-impact changes:

  • Quick homepage refresh for clarity.

  • Documentation overhaul to guide admins step by step.

  • Signup and circle creation flow simplification.

Onboarding was overwhelming: unfamiliar terms like “circles” and “epochs,” long sign-up flows, and vague positioning left admins creating “test circles” just to figure out the product.

Building a roadmap

To tackle adoption head-on, I led:

  • Homepage redesign → clearer copy, tighter positioning, two major iterations in one year.

  • Documentation overhaul → organized into guided steps, searchable, reduced reliance on Discord support.

  • Onboarding flow → simplified signup, easier member-adding, and a sandbox for testing.

  • Magic link invites → pioneered a one-click invite system for admins to bring entire teams onboard instantly.
