Websites - what should I test?
Presupposes there is measurable point (goal) your website.
(IE. actions, collecting information, donations, downloads.)
● Main landing pages
First page people hit on your site. Often determined by
Google Organic traffic. Not just the homepage.
● Conversion (SEM) pages
Pages that advertising or campaigns send traffic to with the
goal of ‘converting’ people to take an action.
● Page templates
These can be types of content like blog posts that are all laid
out a similar way, making it easy to add a component to the
page designed to ‘convert’ visitors.
