Evaluating Design with Metrics

Facebook’s Growth Team looked at registration and the metrics associated with people that came and went.

Then, using those metrics, they made a simple visual design change on the registration page—resulting in 9 million more sign-ups per year!

When they created a Deactivation page, it reduced runaways by 7 percent, or roughly a million users a year.

Facebook also tracked user engagement. They first tried quantifying success by looking at number of read/writes. Once the “Like” button was created, they saw a 7% increase in writes.

There’s food for thought for your product designers over at LukeW!
