Overlaid text reads: “The Mindset Shift That Improved Our A/B Tests.” Below that, it says “Blog Series: Effective A/B Testing (Part 3 of 4)” with the Umbraco logo.

The secret to winning more A/B tests? 🤫
Stop running so many.

In Part 3 of our A/B testing series, we explore the mindset shift that helped us stop testing for activity’s sake.

A man with short brown hair and a trimmed beard speaks while standing indoors, wearing a green shirt under a navy blue hoodie. He appears mid-sentence in a well-lit, casual workspace setting with blurred people and posters in the background. Below him, a quote reads: “I’ve always encouraged my team to contribute to Umbraco in any form that’s suited for that team member.” The quote is attributed to Jeffrey Schoemaker, identified as the former CEO of Perplex and a long-time Umbraco community member. Umbraco’s logo is displayed at the bottom.

A graphic with a rounded quote icon at the top displays text in a centered white box with a deep blue background. The quote reads: “Whether it is writing a good bug report, creating a pull request with a fix, contributing to the documentation, pitching new ideas and features, or speaking or writing about the solutions we’ve created.” The quote is credited to Jeffrey Schoemaker, noted as the former CEO of Perplex and a long-time Umbraco community member. Umbraco’s logo is shown at the bottom of the image.

A stylized graphic features a centered quote in a white text box on a dark blue background with curved patterns. The quote states: “Contributing to Umbraco is a win-win-win. You learn from contributing, the product gets better with your contributions, and the end client gets a more experienced team member working on the solution. At Perplex, we believe that’s the right way of doing it!” The quote is by Jeffrey Schoemaker, described as the former CEO of Perplex and a long-time Umbraco community member. The Umbraco logo appears at the bottom.

Why should your agency invest in employees contributing to #Umbraco? 🤔

For Jeffrey Schoemaker the answer is clear! He has led by example for years. And by supporting contributions, he’s built a team that’s sharper, more engaged, and deeply connected to the ecosystem they work in.

Open source is all about people who care enough to create something for others ✨

In the #Umbraco community, that means livestreams like UmbraCoffee, newsletters like Umb.FYI, magazines like Skrift.io, and the 24 Days calendar.

That’s the heartbeat of open source 💙

The power of open source lies in shared ownership. 5 years ago, we gave trusted community members merge access to Umbraco’s codebase. Bold? Maybe. But Sebastiaan’s only edited 3 pull requests since. That’s not just trust. That’s what a thriving open-source ecosystem looks like 🔓💛

Why Most A/B Tests Fail Before They Begin Discover why nearly half of A/B tests produce no useful insights - and how to fix it. Learn the 3 key factors that make or break your test results. From sample size to conversion metrics and impact potential, Part 1 of our A/B testing series shows how to test smarter with Umbraco Engage.

We ran an A/B test 🧪…
