Intro is a pattern that provides users with a welcoming first impression of an app, often combining storytelling, visuals, and guidance. It sets expectations by showing what the app offers and why it matters. The strength of intros lies in their ability to create excitement while orienting users to the experience ahead.
The animation for intros should feel smooth and inviting. Screens can slide or fade into sequence, illustrations can animate playfully, and text can appear with pacing that mirrors spoken rhythm. Motion creates a narrative flow, turning a static walkthrough into a guided experience that feels alive.
Intros are widely used in onboarding, product tours, and first-launch moments. They work best when they balance delight with clarity, giving users just enough context to understand the app without overloading them. Animation ensures the flow feels cohesive and approachable.
To refine intro interactions, designers can add micro-animations like playful transitions between steps, interactive elements that respond to gestures, or background visuals that shift subtly with progress. These details help maintain user interest while reinforcing the story being told.
Variations of intros include single-screen welcome messages, multi-step product tours, animated walkthroughs, and interactive previews. With thoughtful pacing and motion, intros evolve from plain introductions into immersive entry points that build trust and excitement from the very beginning.
