Why testing

You want people to some take different actions on your website . Most of the time, the best way to persuade them to take the desired action is to make them click on a button (i.e. add to cart, submit details, request a quote and so on).

Any page should have a primary and a secondary desired action (i.e. primary action will be a click on the “add to cart” or “buy now” and the secondary – which is the back up for the primary – can be to collect visitor’s email address.

Therefore make your action buttons should stand out (not necessarily big, red) and make them look like buttons. Here’s a good explanation of what makes a good button.
