Bolt of Cloth

Bolt of Cloth is a Christchurch based company whose store was badly affected in the earthquake and they have subsequently moved their business entirely online. Zeald decided this was the perfect opportunity to experiment with our split-testing tool, and Bolt of Cloth agreed. We decided to look at the homepage first because it had the greatest number of visitors and meant that we would see some quick results. There were a number of changes that we felt should be made initially to accelerate the process. We decided that the first test should be a radical redesign.

Test Objectives: Sell products that produce the greatest revenue - Based on the website e-commerce report and in consultation with the client.

We outlined the following list of points for improving the page:

What did we learn?

• The new Zeald split test software "Experiments" works really well :)

• The changes made to improve the homepage were positive & the split testing backed up these educated assumptions. The new page is an obvious winner after just a few days

• This is addictive :)

Next, we really wanted to see if an animation on the homepage would help to capture visitors attention and draw them into the website, or perhaps the additional load times would serve to put people off and the animation might distract users.
