Are visual design and A/B testing a match made in heaven, or the best of frenemies? We’re on a mission to bring designers and optimizers closer together, so they can produce visually delightful experiences that also convert. Welcome back to our blog series, Design Principles you Should A/B Test.
This week, I sat down with Optimizely Communication Designer Jon Saquing to learn about focal points in visual design, and how you can use them to create delightful experiences.
Design principles are excellent candidates for A/B testing hypotheses and are instruments for developing winning experiment variations based on proven design theory.
With that, let’s talk about one principle you can test right now: color contrast. To get the scoop on this design principle, we chatted with Jeff Zych, Optimizely’s Design Manager.
While low-cost retail leaders like Amazon dominate online retail, a race to the bottom can seem like the only way to keep up. After all, Time reports that Amazon owns 23% of online retail market share. The world of e-commerce is a hyper-competitive space.
