7 KEY TAKEAWAYS
@paulrouke #NUXUK
Provide sitewide visibility of your most differentiating proposition messages Users are very rarely rationale – find this out through A/B testing Bigger does not always mean better when it comes to the size and complexity of the change Don't be afraid to ask visitors to convert early in the journey – & keep it simple Remove distractions wherever possible Speaking to your customers and target customers remains a fundamental technique Don’t ever think of testing as just about button colours - optimisation can be used to test fundamental business hypotheses
