Redesign Experiment
Redesign Experiment
This case study focuses on revitalizing the hero section and outlines how the Jira Software Paid Product Tour page was redesigned to better engage users and drive more signups.
Impact
Did the experiment work?
Yes and no—the results were mixed. Treatment B showed no increase in signups, while Treatment A actually led to a statistically significant decrease. However, we observed a notable uplift in email account creations, site naming screen visits, and OTP screen visits, indicating positive engagement in certain areas.
Context
With over 80% of desktop visits driven by paid searches—and a 5.1% conversion rate—the Jira Software Paid Product Tour page relied on its hero section to convert users.
Yet, prioritizing the signup form over value communication left visitors unsure how Jira Software could help them, reducing both engagement and conversions. The experiment aimed to showcase the product’s benefits and maintain or enhance signup performance.
What we learned
Early Success Did Not Translate to Final Conversions
Despite strong performance in early metrics, both treatments saw a drop in overall signup rates compared to the control:
Treatment A:
A significant decline in signup rates, indicating that while users engaged with the redesigned elements, they struggled to complete the process.
Treatment B:
A smaller, statistically insignificant drop in signup rates, hinting at a more balanced design but still failing to achieve a net positive impact.

Final Design
INITIAL DESIGN
⛔️ Before the redesign, the landing and all child pages featured only one CTA—the newsletter signup.
⛔️ Despite an OKR to drive enterprise growth, users were frustrated by the lack of a clear “Contact Sales” option—undermining conversion opportunities.
RE-DESIGN/ Define Clear Actions
Solution:
✔️Persistent CTAs at top & bottom of key pages.✔️Bold, accessible buttons replacing text links.
✔️Heatmap-driven cta placement at natural pause points.
✔️Short demo videos embedded for extra context.
INITIAL DESIGN
⛔️ 63% of users scrolled down and clicked or hovered over the graphic—but it added no value. The static, unclear diagram failed to explain how platform worked or highlight its benefits.
RE-DESIGN/ Show platform value
Solution:
✔️Layered Visuals: Broke platform into infrastructure, features, and integrations, so users could grasp how it all fits.✔️Concise Microcopy: Worked with content and added bite-sized explanations for each layer—what it does, why it matters, and how it maps to real workflows.
✔️Modular Interactivity: Made each segment clickable, letting users dive into related product pages based on their interests. This shift transformed a passive image into an engaging guide that empowers users to explore and understand Atlassian Platform.
INITIAL DESIGN
⛔️ The old design lacked trust signals—proof points, or validation—so buyers hesitated. In user interviews, I learned that industry-specific success stories were critical: prospects needed to see peers like them succeeding before they’d move forward.
RE-DESIGN/ Social proof
to build trust + awarenessSolution:
✔️Teamed up with Product Marketing to showcase top customer logos up front, instantly signaling credibility.✔️Added a horizontal carousel of industry-specific case studies, surfacing multiple success stories without lengthening the page.
✔️Embedded direct enterprise quotes calling out real-world ROI, making outcomes feel tangible and relatable.
