Introduction
Project Context: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) faced challenges in implementing effective changes to its website. To ensure that each modification positively impacted user experience, Analytics Logic was brought in to establish a structured testing and analysis framework.
Challenges
Identify Key Challenges: Deciding on the appropriate website modifications can be daunting without clear data-driven guidance. HHS needed to:
- Determine whether changes were necessary and, if so, identify the most effective adjustments.
- Avoid potential disruptions caused by untested or poorly planned website modifications.
Solutions
Solution Implementation: Analytics Logic developed a comprehensive testing and planning strategy using front-end testing tools:
- Test Plan Development: Created detailed test plans based on specific hypotheses related to identified problems and goals. These plans included various design options for experimentation and detailed analytics requirements.
- Experiment Implementation: Utilized Optimizely to deliver variations of the website’s elements to different segments of users based on ad campaigns, geography, device type, and more.
- Data-Driven Decisions: Segmented experiments by device, browser, and campaign to derive key insights. Following the attainment of statistical significance, the results from control and treatment groups were analyzed, focusing on primary and secondary KPIs and other user behavior metrics.
Team Expertise: This project was led by a team of data scientists and digital marketing experts skilled in experimental design and statistical analysis, ensuring robust and actionable results.
