What Tools You'll Need

For creating an Onboarding Hub You'll require an onboarding hub that's hosted on a WordPress website. You'll also need the following tools that are useful:

  • . By using it, you are able to grant registered users access to private webpages, documents, as well as different types of information. Our tool also synergizes perfectly with Regfox.

Regfox was created to help facilitate the process of onboarding and to customize it from the ground up.

This integration lets you register users via RegFox and then transfer that data to WordPress. That means after a user onboards and you have them registered as a member on your site and give the user access to exclusive benefits.

In the next few parts, we'll explain how to set up a website and connect it with RegFox to facilitate the onboarding process!

Why Create an Onboarding Site?

The concept of the onboarding web site is quite simple. It's designed to help you get people to sign up for something, then provide people the details they require to use your service.

Here's an example of an the page for onboarding created using RegFox:

Consider an onboarding portal as a central point of contact. It contains all the details you need for a specific scenario or event that is why it urges users to sign up for it.

Onboarding website use cases

There are a few situations where an onboarding website is a good idea could be:

  • Camps for summer. A site for onboarding could contain details about the rules and regulations, what participants need to bring with them, intake documents, how to prepare for the day of arrival, and much more.
  • . Patients are able to fill in intake forms on the website, along with access information regarding how the sessions function, billing procedures, and everything else that they require to know.
  • New employee onboarding. The new employees typically have to review a number of onboarding documents. The centralization of these documents along with the registration forms to sign up for user accounts will streamline the process.
  • Event volunteers. Just as with campers, you can use an onboarding site for registration of volunteers as well as inform them about what's to be expected from the volunteers.
  • New club members. In the event that you sign up to a new club, you have to go through the club's rules and regulations. An onboarding site is a perfect way to share this information.
  • New forum users. Joining a forum means reading its rules and how the community works. A website for onboarding can act as a signup site and information hub.

If you're planning a party or operating a community which has the possibility of onboarding new users, a dedicated hub is a good idea. The page could be powered by a third-party service such as RegFox and be integrated into the rest of your website.
