Practice Projects

Apply your skills with hands-on projects. Ordered by difficulty.

The AI-Powered Headline & CTA Lab

Beginner

Create a simple, single-product landing page (e.g., for a fictional coffee subscription). Use GPT-4 to generate 10 sets of headlines and CTAs. Install a free heatmap tool (like Microsoft Clarity) and a basic A/B testing script. Drive mock traffic and analyze which combination gets the most clicks.

SaaS Trial Page Optimization Sprint

Intermediate

Analyze an existing, public SaaS trial landing page (e.g., from a company like Notion or Figma). Use session replay tools (if available) or make informed guesses based on UX principles. Use Figma and AI image generators to redesign the hero section and form. Write a detailed test plan and mock report with your hypotheses and expected outcomes.

End-to-End E-commerce Landing Page Experiment

Advanced

Build a fully functional, mobile-optimized landing page for a niche e-commerce product using Webflow or a similar tool. Integrate GA4 for event tracking. Use AI to generate all copy and source/create visuals. Run a real or simulated A/B test on a key element (e.g., pricing display: 'Monthly' vs. '$X/month'). Use Python or a BI tool to pull the test data, calculate significance, and create a professional dashboard summarizing the results and next steps.
