The client

IMD is a business school known for top executive education programmes. It wanted more leads for its MBA, with a brochure download as the main call to action.

The challenge

The page had to push every visitor toward one action while speaking to different prospective-student personas. IMD also wanted it tested and improved after launch rather than left as designed, so it needed a platform that could run variants and show real visitor behaviour.

The solution

01Wireframe and Unbounce build

A lead-focused wireframe was approved, turned into an on-brand mockup and built on Unbounce. The first live version converted at 3.91%.

02Heatmap insight

Crazy Egg heatmaps showed where visitors clicked and engaged, producing two testable hypotheses.

03Proof and trust earlier

Alumni video testimonials were moved higher, and the About IMD section was placed ahead of programme details to build credibility sooner.

04A/B test

One variant with both changes ran against the original, and the variant won.

The results

The optimised page converted at 6.38% versus 3.91% for the original, a 63% increase in conversions. Brochure downloads and lead generation rose as a direct result.
