Multivariate and A/B Testing Done Right

VWO Visual Editor

Removing the obstacle of having a developer make coding changes and spin up landing page variations allows us to move much more rapidly in our testing cadence than some other platforms have. Our clients appreciate being able to move forward quicker, as the important results for most come *after* the testing is completed.

VWO Visual Editor

I alluded to it earlier, but the beauty of the A/B testing and WYSIWYG editor for us, and I'm sure a lot of other marketing teams, is that it removes the obstacle of having to ask a development team to do this work. It puts the power in the hands of the marketer and reduces the path to success.

VWO is a great tool that empowers marketers to create and measure A/B tests without a huge reliance on IT and technology support!

VWO Visual Editor

The VWO WYSIWYG editor is a great tool for making copy and image modifications throughout your website tests. Our marketing team has used this and they are not advanced HTML and CSS users, so the WYSIWYG editor has been instrumental in being able to get our A/B tests up and running quickly.

The editor is easy to use! Seriously, anyone that has used MS Paint can use VWO's editor. But it does allow for HTML/CSS savvy users to go in and make custom changes too, which is nice.

As a UX designer who knows how to code, I almost exclusively use the code editor section to create our A/B tests, but I have found the entire A/B testing creation experience to be very intuitive.

The WYSIWYG editor is easy to use and very simple for new users that want to hit the ground running. We leverage it to test different aspects of the site to find and deliver test results to ensure future changes which require dev work are going to make a positive impact before creating new request.

VWO Visual Editor

It has made it easier for the unexperienced to make changes and run a test. I think this also has the downside that people underestimate what they are doing on the website. The very first test ever that I tried to make was erroneous due to my editing dynamic content using the WYSIWYG editor. Making the tool easy to use for non experienced people is a double edged sword.

VWO Visual Editor

The WYSIWYG editor is somewhat limiting for us. It would be great for users who don't know HTML, CSS. But for me, it is easier to implement the code directly. We also add js to our variations at times, which you cannot do through the WYSIWYG editor. We have used the WYSIWYG editor when we want to make a simple text change, which is sometimes faster than doing it through the HTML input.

This is a great feature to VWO, as anyone within a team can learn this from a quick demo from someone who has used it, or by simply reading a few of the very detailed guides VWO provide.
We have dev, management, and even PPC and SEO team members who use the WYSIWYG editor.

Compared to Google Optimize this aspect of the tool is light years ahead. Very easy to change things with the WYSIWYG editor and when it's not possible its easy to jump into HTML edit mode. Also, the fact that you get no flicker on page load is very impressive.

VWO Visual Editor

I think this is the thing I was most hopeful about being successful, but I found it to be touchy. I will say that we are on NetSuite SuiteCommerce Advanced (SCA) and it's not the best e-commerce platform that I have worked with. It's one of the most challenging, so I would say that VWO would work more soundly with a Shopify or other quality e-commerce platform better than us. That's the main reason I think the WYSIWYG doesn't work seamlessly.

The What You See Is What You Get editor of VWO works pretty well. It made it easy for us to create new tests for our clients websites. Only once in a while, the preview we saw in the WYSIWYG view was not the same as the actual variant we created.

VWO Visual Editor

The WYSIWIG editor of VWO is very user-friendly (already for many years). It is intuitive. When I explain testing, conversion rate optimization and VWO to non-marketing people they always are amazed with the way the editor looks. For them, it often looks like magic.

I previouly pointed a small drawback which is the parenting part inside the setup of a test. But as I also stated it was quickly solved by the support department.

Useful for simple changes, but developers needed for complex tests

VWO Visual Editor

It's enabled our team to create simple tests themselves, reducing the need for developer resource. However, it spits out a tonne of code for even the simplest of changes, which can cause issues for the site. Therefore we tend to ignore the editor most of the time and use custom code written by developers instead. However, the editor is still useful for identifying the class of elements, or an initial play around with layout or whatever to see how something looks when it is changed. But for actually running the tests, we used custom code.

VWO Visual Editor

It's a good feature but let's be honest, it always beaks the dynamic content. Sometimes we would experience issues with changing the imagery, it has to be all uploaded on VWO before being able to use however it's not always possible so it can create some friction when trying to set up some testing.

VWO Visual Editor

It's okay. Editing a headline here and there is fine. Editing dynamic content breaks down. Oftentimes, I need to resort to editing the code itself because editing it with the visual editor breaks that element or something else. If you have a static site it's probably easy to use. Add in dynamic content and you have a recipe for disaster if you aren't careful to review your variations before you start the test.

VWO Visual Editor

The WYSIWYG editor is very easy. I can easily click on the part of the website I would like change. So I just click on the text and can change the text for example. Without the help of the, always busy, IT-department. As an online marketeer the editor gives me freedom and speed. And the improvements can be easily done by other colleagues at my team as well, so we as a team feel very concerned with testing.
