We’re working to improve the experience for admins of new Discourse sites, with the goal of helping them build engaged communities and succeed with Discourse.

We started by mapping the end-to-end admin journey to find areas of improvement. That’s led to two features we’ve shipped so far: [a new design wizard](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-the-new-admin-design-wizard/411281) that walks admins through site customisation, and [improvements to how admins invite collaborators and members](https://meta.discourse.org/t/improving-admin-invites/407727) during onboarding. Next, we’re exploring what the third onboarding step should be.

Running in parallel: we’re expanding the Discourse Admin Assistant (pre-configured on our [hosting](https://www.discourse.org/pricing), but needs AI setup for self-hosted sites) to handle site settings, billing, and content management for new admins, and we’re polishing the ID-based site signup experience to make it more cohesive.
