Split Testing and Multi-variate (MVT) Testing

A key part of conversion rate optimisation is carrying out split and multi-variate testing to ensure which variation of a page design or series of pages gives you maximum conversions. We use our extensive experience and learnings in conversion optimisation to determine where to test and what page elements are most likely to have a positive impact on your conversion rates.

Depending on the technology that runs your website and how it can integrate with testing tools, we use both Google Website Optimiser and other third party testing tools where appropriate to plan, set-up and run conversion optimisation tests.

Our Clients Include

  • Services Provided

    Usability and User Testing

    "I have been very impressed with the user testing service PRWD have provided, from initiation through to delivery.

    The insights that we gained from the users have been valuable, but what made the project a particular success was what Paul brought to the table. Without his considerable experience we would never have created the right scenarios for the users, or indeed have been able to glean the right information from the videos.

    The report that Paul created was impressive from cover to cover, allowing me to create a long list of improvements to action. The meetings with Paul felt like a real collaboration, with him drawing on my knowledge of our site and users, mixing with his considerable industry experience. I would not hesitate to recommend PRWD to anyone who is serious about improving the usability of their website."

    Stuart McMillan, E-commerce Operations Manger at AllSaints

  • "I became aware PRWD and was immediately impressed with the level of expertise and reference able collateral on show on their website.

    It was a no brainer for me; being local was also a major plus point as there is clearly a lack of expertise in this field north of London. Paul proved invaluable on the day as he led us through ‘idea after idea’ in which we could improve our services to our clients. His knowledge of the subject was clear for all to see and his approach to training very professional.”

    Taz Ali, Creative Services Manager at Hitachi Consulting

  • "Working with PRWD has been invaluable.

    Paul is very logical and detailed in his approach and communicated his findings very clearly to help us see things differently. We’re looking forward to seeing the results of his recommendations."

    Paul McDermott, Head of E-Commerce at Speedo International

  • “At Lakeland we’re committed to listening carefully to what our customers want, and tailoring our business to their needs. So when it came to launching our new website it was vital we included their feedback on our ideas during the build of the new site.

    This feedback, gathered for us by PRWD via a series of usability tests, was extremely valuable and actionable and the resulting site has been received very positively”

    Tony Preedy, Marketing Director at Lakeland

  • "Paul has clear and specific expertise which he is able to bring to bear in very efficient and effective way. The turnaround and quality of this work was exceptional, and I will be asking Paul to provide more help in the future ."

    John Byrne, Product Development Director, UK Commercial Speedy Services

  • "Best Marketing hired Paul to deliver an e-commerce workshop in Tallinn, Estonia. The feedback from delegates was very good. Delegates said that the workshop was very practical, full of real-life examples and practical tips about how to increase the usability of e-commerce websites."

    Hando Sinisalu, Founder & Managing Partner, Best-Marketing

    "A very good service that has provided some extremely valuable insights into how people really use our site."

  • "I attended the Ecommerce Best Practice Course as we’re undergoing a major site redevelopment. I learned several new techniques that are now being integrated into our new designs. Aside from the knowledge I picked up during the course, Paul is excellent at responding to any questions you may have after the course. In particular he assisted me with further information on abandoned cart email strategy and the best ecommerce-related books to read.

    I really recommend this course to anyone looking to update their knowledge of ecommerce best practice, or anyone looking to make major changes to their ecommerce sites and need some expert guidance."
