Test #439 on Designlab.com by Daniel Shapiro   Oct 31, 2022 Desktop Mobile

Daniel Shapiro Tested Pattern #18: Single Or Alternative Buttons In Test #439 On Designlab.com

This was a larger leap experiment with numerous changes to the header part of a design program landing page. One of the key changes however was a shift from a single to multiple call to actions for lead generation. In the control, all potential leads would first funnel through a single syllabus download flow. In the variation, users were given three visible choices: download syllabus, webinar signup and/or book a live call with admissions. Impact on overall generated leads was measured, as well as paid enrollments.

Test #436 on Designlab.com by Daniel Shapiro   Oct 25, 2022 Desktop Mobile

Daniel Shapiro Tested Pattern #7: Social Counts In Test #436 On Designlab.com

In this experiment, social proof and scarcity messages were shown on a course enrollment landing page. When students were starting to sign up at the beginning of each month (with greater availability), a simpler "X students have already enrolled in the next cohort" message was used.

Later in the month when fewer spots were available, a more scarce message was used with the following copy "ONLY X SPOTS available in the next cohort".

In both cases, the numbers were accurate and dynamically updated.

Test #420 on Designlab.com by Daniel Shapiro   Jul 12, 2022 Desktop Mobile

Daniel Shapiro Tested Pattern #115: Pricing Comparison Table In Test #420 On Designlab.com

In this experiment, pricing plans were laid out horizontally for easier comparison. In the variation, most of the plan benefits, features and differences were also referenced using a single lable that was left-aligned. The idea was to make the variables aligned and therefore more comparable.

This pricing table appeared at the bottom of a long design program landing page. Impact on leads and applications was measured.
