Van Q&B: All Devices: Quote Form: Buttons vs Dropdowns
Background
The van form contains several dropdown menus that the user needs to fill in. Several competitors are now displaying question answer selections as buttons rather than dropdowns. 51% of visits to the form page are on mobile devices. Buttons are easier to select for mobile users as they require less clicks than dropdowns. As part of the proposed rebrand, DL would like to test a change from dropdowns to buttons.
Hypothesis
Displaying the question answers as buttons rather than dropdowns will make it easier for users to fill in the form, particularly on mobile devices. This will increase Start to Quote.Design Changes
- Questions with dropdown answers where there are 10 or less answer options have been changed from a dropdown to button answers.
- Each question has been separated from another with dividing lines and extra spacing.
