Minimalist vs. Visual Showdown
Test a clean, simple layout against a bold, image-rich design to see which style drives more engagement and conversions.
Why it matters:
Some audiences prefer minimal, distraction-free designs that emphasize clarity and speed, while others connect better with rich visuals that create emotional impact.
Pro Tip!
Track both conversion rate and session duration — sometimes the theme that keeps visitors exploring longer ends up driving higher lifetime value.
Example Setup:
Test how your conversion rate changes when swapping the lead image style.
| Test Group | Theme Style | Example Description |
