Key Results
04 — User Testing
Stakeholder and prospect validation — testing impact and service clarity
As an agency website, testing focused on whether prospective enterprise clients understood StarkStar's positioning, service scope, and differentiators quickly. Sessions recruited senior decision-makers — CDOs, Heads of Digital, and agency procurement leads — to validate the homepage and service pages under real consideration conditions.
5-second brand impression testing
The hero section and service offerings page were tested via UsabilityHub — capturing first impressions from enterprise decision-makers within a 5-second exposure. This validated whether 'human-centred' and 'AI-powered' were landing as meaningful differentiators or feeling like generic agency language.
Stakeholder interview sessions
Six moderated sessions with CDOs and Heads of Digital explored how they evaluate agency websites and what builds credibility. Participants talked through the StarkStar site while we recorded, revealing the importance of the stats section and case study evidence over abstract positioning copy.
Heatmap and scroll depth analysis
Hotjar tracking was deployed on the live site to capture real visitor behaviour — identifying that users were scrolling past the hero quickly and spending the most time on the 'Our Universe' services section and the stats counter block.
Key Outcomes
3x
average client growth achieved — services positioning tested against competitors to validate differentiation
"Universe"
section naming tested — metaphor resonated strongly with enterprise audiences as ambitious and distinctive
Stats block
was the highest-engagement section — 150+/150+/3x numbers drove strongest credibility signal
AI language
required careful calibration — 'AI-powered' alone felt generic; 'AI-Human Synthesis' tested significantly better
Case studies
were the primary conversion driver — prospects wanted outcome evidence before making contact
