Get Started is a pattern that welcomes users into an app by providing the first steps toward engagement. It helps establish direction by presenting an introduction, key options, or calls to action that orient users. The strength of a get started screen lies in its ability to create clarity and reduce hesitation at the very beginning of the journey.
The animation for get started screens should feel inviting and confident. Text and buttons can fade or slide into place with balance, background visuals can animate subtly to set tone, and call-to-action buttons can scale slightly to signal importance. Motion eases users into the experience, guiding them toward their first meaningful action.
Get started patterns are widely used in onboarding flows, setup wizards, and first-launch moments. They work best when they reduce complexity and highlight a single, clear path forward. Animation ensures these initial steps feel purposeful and energizing rather than overwhelming.
To refine get started interactions, designers can use looping illustrations that provide a sense of friendliness, progress indicators that build confidence, or animated transitions between steps that feel smooth and consistent. These details turn the start of a journey into a reassuring and motivating experience.
Variations of get started include single-screen introductions, multi-step guides, interactive demos, and call-to-action prompts tied to sign-up or login. With thoughtful animation and focus, get started screens transform from static instructions into engaging entry points that build momentum from the very first tap.
