!
❖ Conversion-rate optimisation:!
❖ The science and art of getting more revenue-generating actions from the same number of visitors!
❖ I’ve never seen a website that couldn’t be improved. In fact the best online companies in the world are committed to continuous improvement on their websites.!
❖ If your company is like most, the vast majority of visitors leave without indicating the most basic level of interest. Are you satisfied that the majority of your expensive traffic is being wasted? Should you be allocating the majority of your scarce marketing budget to driving more people to this under performing website?
❖ If you claim that your product or service is easy, take a look at how easy your website is to understand and use:!
❖ How many steps are in your signup process?!
❖ How many fields of information are required in your purchase process?!
❖ How easy is to find your shipping information?!
❖ Is your product information understandable?!
❖ Why “Best practices” aren’t Best practices?!
❖ What is often missing in “best practice” recommendations is a consideration for your unique business environment, goals, and target audience. Your website should be a vehicle designed to uniquely communicate the value proposition of your product or service and then make it easy for visitors to take the desired action.!
❖ HiPPO - Highest-paid person’s opinion !
❖ The Black Turtleneck Method - Guru’s advising best practise!
❖ The customer tested method - Using scientific method of hypothesis and testing to find optimised solutions. You formulate hypotheses about which page layouts will encourage the highest conversion rate and use controlled A/B split testing to find out with statistical confidence. In this case, when your designer presents design alternatives, you say, “Those look like interesting design options. We should test that”
❖ Website re-design!
❖ A dirty little secret of website redesign is that the new site often reduces conversion rates and revenue:!
❖ Your most valuable repeat customers may be accustomed to the current site layout and confused by a new site. Their confusion will result in lost revenue for you!
❖ The new design may fix some conversion problems but unintentionally introduce worse ones, with a net effect of reduced conversion rates!
❖ Most important, your website design may not be a problem, and the redesign could end up being a complete waste of time and money with no improvements to show for it!
❖ Use Evolutionary Site Redesign - where new design, layout, and content elements are tested and your website gradually evolves toward the best-performing ideal.!
❖ In ESR redesign you prioritise your most important pages and page templates and test new layouts, designs, and content with controlled testing. You will get all the benefits of a new site design without the risks.!
❖ As you’ve probably guessed, ESR essentially uses conversion-rate optimisation principles to redesign your site. You end up with a new site “look and feel” and conversion-rate lift at the same time.
