[UKPRwire, Thu Feb 08 2007] Optimost, the website optimising company that pioneered multivariable testing, has opened a dedicated UK office headed by former Coremetrics Director of Business Development, Greg Kelton.
Described by one commentator as ‘website testing on steroids’, multivariable testing surpasses traditional A/B testing by enabling website owners to test multiple combinations of text and graphics simultaneously, identifying the optimum page design from millions of possible permutations.
“Multivariable testing can have a massive impact on the profitability of e-commerce websites” said Kelton. “We tested a number of elements on a product page for Time-Life recently and the winning creative boosted shopping carts by 75%. This converted to a seven-figure increase in annual online sales.”
Results from Optimost’s ‘Website Optimisation Best Practices’ research, conducted across more than 150 websites, show that whilst testing components on each website is a unique process, certain results remain constant. Navigation tools should be unambiguous and instructional copy as well as requests for information should be kept to a minimum.
Optimost will be demonstrating website optimisation solutions at Search Engine Strategies, Excel, February 13th – 15th 2007.
