New A/B Test for Your Vote: Which Store Page Template Got 34% More Add-to-Cart Clicks?
This week’s test pits a left-side navigation bar against a right-side column of in-house promotional ads. Can you guess which ecommerce store page template got more add-to-cart clicks?
Keep in mind that this was a site-wide template test. The testers wanted to see if taking away the promo column and adding a nav bar to the left side of the page would boost conversions.
Please remember to tell us why you voted for Version A or B in the comments section after you vote. http://whichtestwon.com/archives/5757

I’m very curious to see which one outperformed! I don’t like advertisements; however, the images on this screenshot are larger, more whitespace and ‘cleaner’ UXD. The other image, the side nav/panel is clunky, takes up too much space, which results in images being smaller – resulting in an overall busy UI. There are too many options whereas the image that has the ads on right hand side is easier and faster to figure out where to start.
Soooo, which one was it?
