Timeline, team contacts, kickoff steps, and lead times sit together so nobody has to ask twice. ### Get the yes without leaving the page Your client reads the steps, then signs the agreement at the bottom. No download, no printing, no PDF sent back. ### Build each page from parts you trust Pull in a hero, steps, or accordion in one click, then save your own versions to reuse on the next project. ### Looks right on every client's screen Your hero, cards, and steps reflow for the laptop, the tablet on the sofa, and the phone on the train. ### See which section holds their attention Heatmaps show if they lingered on the steps or skipped the accordion, so your follow-up lands at the right moment. ### Know the moment they open it A ping tells you when your client views the document, leaves a comment, or signs the agreement. ### Shape the document together, live You tweak the task list while a teammate rewrites the hero copy. Both of you watch it come together. ## See how every part fits The guide opens with a personal welcome and the vision for the home, then moves through team, timeline, and terms, and closes with a sign-off. Keep what fits your practice, drop what doesn't, and reorder anything. ### Personalized Client Welcome & Project Kickoff Overview A warm, personal welcome addressed to the clients by name, with the project address, a clear 30-week roadmap preview, and the first action item: electrical drawings by Friday March 12.

A strong onboarding template covers a Welcome message, the purpose of the role or programme, an introduction to your team, a first-weeks plan, a structured programme schedule, and a How We Work section. Together these help new hires understand expectations, meet colleagues, and become productive faster. ### How do I customize this onboarding template for my company? Replace the placeholder text in each section with your own welcome message, team names and photos, and first-weeks milestones. Then adjust the Programme section to match your real schedule and update How We Work with your tools, meeting rhythms, and communication norms. Add your logo, brand colors, and fonts to make it feel on-brand. ### What should I put in the first weeks section of an onboarding plan? List clear goals for each week, such as setting up accounts, meeting key stakeholders, completing training, and delivering a small first task. Include who the new hire's buddy or manager is and what success looks like by day 30. Keep it specific and time-bound so nothing is left to guesswork. ### Can I export this onboarding template to PDF or share it digitally? Yes, you can typically export the template to PDF for easy sharing or print, and share it as an editable document or link so managers can update it. Check your editing tool's export menu for formats such as PDF, DOCX, or PPTX. Exporting to PDF is best for sending to new hires before day one. ### Is this onboarding template suitable for remote teams, agencies, and cohort programmes? Yes, the structure works across industries and work setups, including remote, hybrid, agency, and graduate or cohort programmes. Use the Programme section for group sessions or training schedules, and the How We Work section to define remote communication, working hours, and tools. Tailor the Your Team section to show who new hires will work with, wherever they're based. ## Related - [Margate](https://formlio.com/templates/margate-interior-design-handover-care-guide): Professional template for your business needs - [Charleston](https://formlio.com/templates/charleston-installation-progress-report): Installation progress report for hotel clients - [Tallinn](https://formlio.com/templates/tallinn-interior-design-procurement-tracker): Procurement tracker for interior design studios - [Sheffield](https://formlio.com/templates/sheffield-interior-design-ffe-sign-off): FF&E selection sign-off for interior design studios - [Noosa](https://formlio.com/templates/noosa-interior-design-concept-presentation): Concept presentation for interior design studios - [Miami](https://formlio.com/templates/miami-ffe-procurement-statement-of-work): FF&E procurement statement of work for designers
