DESCRIPTION
Have you ever found yourself examining your website and wondering which design variation of your site is attracting the most sales? Or if your email signup button is in the correct place? A/B testing is a simple way to test a new website design and allows you to test variations live on your site with your actual users. Optimizely is a tool for A/B testing that takes the guesswork out of website optimization. In this livestream, you’ll set up the Optimizely editor, run experiments, and learn how to get started testing text, images, colors, and new arrangements of content.
