If you own a website, you would no doubt agree that the design of your website is one of the most important factors which determines how well it performs. A well designed website encourages visitors to click on more links, sign up for your service, etc. The best way to determine which the best design is often A/B testing.

In A/B testing, multiple versions of the websites are served to users randomly and the performance of each version is tracked. This is generally a complex process. However, Visual Website Optimizer is a startup which simplifies this service to such an extent such that almost anyone (well, anyone who can run a website) can set up the A/B testing for their website in no time at all.

Not only is Visual Website Optimizer easy to set up, it is also extremely feature rich. Some of the notable features of Visual Website Optimizer includes real-time reporting, heat maps and click maps, visitor segmentation and targeting etc. For those of you who uses Google Analytics to track your websites' traffic, Visual Website Optimizer can also integrate with your Analytics account. All that is needed is to add a line of code to your current Analytics tracking code.

Visual Website Optimizer also includes a WYSIWYG editor. This allows you to change the different items on your website quite easily to find out the best layout. Visual Website Optimizer also has plugins for CMS such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla.

Visual Website Optimizer has different plans and pricing for different types of websites. The plans start at $49/month and allows you to run three simultaneous tests. There is also a free trial available for 30 days.

The customer list of Visual Website Optimizer is already very impressive and includes the likes of Microsoft, Rackspace, foursquare, Groupon etc.
