Impact
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
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.

Research and Competitive Analysis
Competitive Layout Analysis:
Studied hero sections of competitor pages to understand effective arrangements of product shots and signup forms.
Heatmap Analysis:
Engagement Rate: Measured how well users interacted with site elements to assess intuitiveness.
Exposure Rate: Analyzed scroll depth to evaluate how much of the hero section users viewed.
Attractiveness Rate: Measured the percentage of visitors who clicked on an element after exposure.
Click Rate: Assessed user interaction with specific elements, identifying the most attention-grabbing and underperforming areas.
Design Process
Ideation: Brainstormed ways to balance the signup form and product shot to align user needs with business goals.
Wireframes and Prototyping:
Created wireframes for different layouts and prototyped interactive elements like an animated product shot.
Attractiveness Analysis
To measure the success of the redesign, I used attractiveness analysis—assessing how visually appealing and engaging each element was for users. This helped determine whether the updated layout effectively captured and retained their interest.
Before the Redesign
The original hero section prioritized an embedded signup form, overshadowing the product shot. While functional, it didn’t draw users into the product visuals, reducing the overall appeal of the hero section.Engagement Rate Analysis
To gauge the redesign’s effectiveness, I analyzed engagement rates—tracking how users interacted with core elements on the page before and after the update. This metric revealed whether the new layout successfully captured user interest and encouraged deeper interaction.
Before the Redesign: While the original hero section’s embedded signup form had a high click rate, the product shot and other key information saw minimal engagement. This indicated that users were focused on signing up but missing valuable details about the product.
