About this UI Snippet

Lottie Onboarding Mascot Modal — Animated Welcome Screen for New Users

Screenshot of the Lottie Onboarding Mascot Modal snippet rendered live

First impressions matter, and this onboarding modal uses a real Lottie animation from lottie-web as a friendly animated mascot at the top of a welcome screen, rather than a static logo or icon.

The mascot animation

The lottie-web UMD script loads from a CDN via cdnUrls, and on page load the snippet calls lottie.loadAnimation({ container, renderer: 'svg', loop: true, autoplay: true, animationData }) against an inline animation JSON object, so the mascot pulses continuously behind the welcome copy without any external .json request.

Welcome copy and primary action

Below the mascot, a bold headline and one short paragraph explain what's about to happen, followed by a full-width primary "Get started" button that would normally kick off a setup wizard or product tour.

A real skip path

A secondary "Skip for now" link sits below the primary button, giving users who already know the product an obvious way out without hunting for a close icon — both actions in this demo render a status message confirming which path was taken.

Frequently Asked Questions
