The Heritage Foundation

How the function of the form elements affects conversion (and the “most beautiful form in the world”)

Experiment ID: #4911

The Heritage Foundation

Experiment Summary

Timeframe: 08/03/2016 - 09/12/2016

In an effort to continue to iterate on the general donation form used throughout the Heritage properties, we developed a test that would incorporate the modern web technique of adaptive placeholders. The goal of this technique is to visually condense the form by using placeholder labels inside of the text fields but to then move those same placeholders to the top of the field once a visitor focuses on it so the purpose of the field is clear. This is a technique that was taken from some of the larger eCommerce sites like Hotwire.com.

Research Question

Will a most condensed donation form that utilized more modern labeling techniques increase overall donor conversion?

Design

C: Form with Labels Above Fields

Results

 Treatment NameConv. RateRelative DifferenceConfidence
C: Form with Labels Above Fields 2.8%
T1: Adaptive Placeholders 2.7%-3.0% 15.9%

This experiment has a required sample size of 289,274 in order to be valid. Unfortunately, the required sample size was not met and a level of confidence above 95% was not met so the experiment results are not valid.

Key Learnings

The new form with adaptive placeholders did not produce any statistically significant results. While the form was more condensed, it looks like it was not a significant enough change to increase donor conversion.
