Core workflow
- Start with a specific conversion problem.
- Write a hypothesis that explains why the change should help.
- Change one coherent concept per variant when possible.
- Define the conversion goal before traffic is split.
- QA both variants on desktop and mobile.
- Run the test long enough to collect useful evidence.
- Document what you learned even when the variant loses.
Tool choice comes after the workflow
Software should remove friction from a defined process. Avoid selecting a plugin first and then inventing a strategy around its feature list.
