SHOW NOTES
In this episode of No Hacks Snacks, I sit down with Manuel Krähe, a digital growth and Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) expert and founder of notion.ch, to discuss the limitations of UX best practices as starting points for experimentation.
Manuel shared his insights on why relying solely on these practices can be misleading and emphasizes the importance of individualized data analysis and forming proper hypotheses based on your specific audience and website metrics. He also touches upon the pitfalls of outdated best practice checklists and offers strategies for guiding clients through data-driven decision-making processes.
