Where you put testimonials matters more than what they say

A testimonial next to the sign-up form outperforms a testimonial section by 25%.

Button color matters less than contrast

The "best button color" is whatever stands out most from your page. Contrast beats color theory.

Progress bars increase completion

Showing people how far they've come makes them 20% more likely to finish.

Real urgency messaging that works

Honest time constraints convert. Fake ones backfire. Here's how to tell the difference.

Basic personalization beats generic pages

Changing the headline based on traffic source increases conversions 15-25%. No AI required.
