A collaboration between Marketing and Product to determine how best to increase user engagement and donations on CapRadio’s homepage. We A/B tested a modernized pushdown banner against a custom homepage takeover, ultimately driving measurable impact on donation goals.

My Role

As Front-End Developer, I:

  • Translated mockups into a functional, accessible takeover feature.

  • Rebuilt the takeover as a full-page pop-up after identifying limitations in the initial structure.

  • Ensured compatibility with VWO, aligning technical execution with stakeholder goals.

What I Built

  • Custom homepage takeover built and integrated into the CMS infrastructure.

  • Refactored legacy pushdown banners for clean compatibility with VWO’s A/B testing tools.

  • Implemented with HTML/CSHTML, CSS/LESS, and Umbraco CMS for seamless deployment and testing.

The Outcome

  • 14% increase in donation button clicks across multiple A/B testing rounds.

  • No notable user complaints, validating the approach while supporting CapRadio’s fundraising efforts.
