Building an Onboarding Quiz: Good Content Design Challenge Day 15

Blending Content with Interaction

Welcome back to Day 15 of the Good Content Design Challenge! Today, we’ll be diving into the world of interactive quizzes for product onboarding. Crafting interactive content isn't just about making something look good or fun. It’s about building a seamless user experience that educates while engaging, giving users a reason to come back. In this challenge, I focused on creating an interactive onboarding quiz for GlowGenius, my AI-powered skincare app, that educates new users while keeping the process fun and accessible.

The process of building an onboarding quiz strengthens your ability to blend content with interaction. You’re not only thinking about the words but also how those words guide users, helping them make informed decisions about their skincare. This kind of user-centered content design forces you to understand the user journey and think about where they might need extra help or clarification.

Today's Challenge

Day 15: Build an interactive quiz to onboard new users to a product, ensuring it educates while engaging. Focus on crafting questions that are informative and entertaining while guiding users through key concepts.

   • Dry: I’m always reaching for moisturizer.

   • Oily: Shine central by midday!

   • Combination: I’m oily in some areas, dry in others.

Final Thoughts

Designing this onboarding quiz for GlowGenius was an eye-opening process. It forced me to consider every part of the user experience and how to guide users toward a personalized skincare routine without overwhelming them. Creating content that isn’t just written well but also interactive requires a solid understanding of user behavior.

The balance between providing enough information to be helpful while keeping things light and engaging was crucial. I wanted users to feel like they were having a conversation with GlowGenius rather than filling out a boring form. Additionally, I realized the importance of having a Back button in the quiz, allowing users to change their answers if needed. I also incorporated a link to the company’s AI policy for transparency, as it helps build trust when users understand how their data is being handled.

This challenge was a reminder that great content design is about clarity, flow, and always putting the user first.
