A/B testing – striving to get page design ‘right’.


This blog post about the use of Pricing Tables Design made me realise there’s lots of things on the web we ought to know the ‘right’ answer to – including some seemingly simple things like where to put the sign-up buttons for pricing plans.

“There was a fairly even split between putting the sign-up button at the top of the table — directly under the pricing information — or at the bottom, below the list of features.

It’s hard to say which is the better approach, but it would definitely be worth doing some split A/B testing to see whether the button position affects sign-ups.”

Google’s new ‘website optimiser‘ has given a new and innovative approach to A/B testing (put simply: “Which Design Works Best”), and I’m planning on putting some of the testing into action with some e-commerce partners at an appropriate time soon.
