How a cleaner homepage, a modal instead of a dedicated page, and a flat primary metric quietly killed enrollment conversions—and what to change in your experimentation strategy.
Default bias is one of the strongest forces in behavioral science. Learn why pre-selected options dominate and how to use smart defaults to improve outcomes.
Polished designs often lose to rough, authentic alternatives. Explore the behavioral science behind why ugly pages convert better in A/B tests.
Better UX does not always mean better conversion. Explore the paradox of design improvements that reduce measured metrics and what it reveals about user behavior.
Front-loading your entire product's complexity into the first session is the fastest way to lose users. Learn why progressive onboarding aligned with learning theory dramatically improves activation.
Card sorting, mental models, and how information hierarchy affects both findability and purchase confidence. The hidden economics of navigation design.
Fully automated self-service flows can erode trust and completion rates when they remove all human presence. The automation paradox reveals why strategic human touchpoints dramatically improve outcomes.
Fitts's Law reveals that click-through rates are governed by the physics of motor behavior, where button size and distance from the cursor mathematically predict interaction success and conversion outcomes.
