On today’s show, I’m delighted to welcome Nick Disabato, the writer, designer and A/B testing expert - and author of The A/B Testing Manual. A/B testing is the scientific method applied to making conversion changes on your website, and Nick’s 'Draft' Design Consultancy has a proven track record of using research driven A/B testing to increase revenue for his e-commerce clients.In this episode, we tap into Nick’s specialist knowledge so we can make meaningful conversion decisions on our own business websites - and I found the whole conversation to be fascinating.
