UX Testing is
easy
Set tasks for people to follow on
your site
● Find a product you would genuinely buy and add it
to your basket
1
2 Choose people to take part
● Demographics
● Device – Desktop, Tablet, SmartPhone
● Custom screener
Watch videos
● As they attempt tasks
● Saying what they’re thinking
● To find out where they struggle
3
Why bother?
1. Improve online sales
by identifying (and then
removing) user friction
2. Stop wasting time
guessing at what to
improve on your site
3. Reduce the cost of
avoidable contact
Why bother?
1. Validate new features,
products and pricing
2. Optimise marketing
costs – watch users
search
3. Take the best from
your competitors
Why bother?
1. Settle internal
arguments with the
“customers voice”
2. Prioritise your roadmap
around users needs /
wants
3. Get closer, closer
closer

Sales…
If you don’t have a phone number
say why1
2 Treat your Returns Policy as a high
converting page
● Easy to find: link on PDPs and throughout
checkout
● Easy to understand: not written by a lawyer
3
Mine your search logs
● Take the top 20 on-site search terms and ensure
the relevant product or categories are displayed
on your Home Page
● Search can show you what many users can’t find
when they land
4
Squint your eyes
● Look at each of your top 10 landing pages
● See if anything on the page looks a like an ad
● Change its design so it doesn’t (to stop people
ignoring it)
5
Is your cookie message dominating
your mobile home page?
● Reset your mobile cookies
● Shorten or move the cookie message for mobile
devices
Five Tips
1. No phone? Say why.
2. Returns Page converts
3. Mine search logs
4. Squint to remove “ads”
5. Cut mobile cookies

Editor's Notes

  • #12: Any Old Lights are a small online retailer with a single shop in Cornwall. They sell reclaimed lights. Testing showed they needed to make it much easier to start shopping online. Some small Home Page changes dramatically improved their conversions (and meant their PPC spend was more effective too).
