“Scan to cloud technology is a major component of the global SaaS (software as a service) sector, which is projected to grow to more than $40-$50 billion by 2014 from roughly $13 billion in 2009, is an area that we intend to gain both market share and significant revenues,” said David P.

OfficeDrop has just launched a new home page. We hope that this page will help our visitors understand what we do, and also make it easier for people looking for our three primary services to get the exact one they are searching for. We’ve noticed that there has been some confusion since we launched our scanner software and it has made for some interesting customer service phone calls. We aren’t trying to confuse anyone, and so this new page is our attempt to make things instantly more clear for the visitor.
We went with some big app style “buttons” for the new calls to action, with the hopes that they will be intuitive and will call out to people looking for one of our three solutions.

Anand Rajaram, OfficeDrop’s co-founder and Chief Product Officer, has just completed a list of tips and tools we used here during our recent website redesign to improve visitor conversion. You can see the entire list of his articles on the Performable blog.
Optimizing Conversion Rates Part One – Quantitative Tests
OfficeDrop’s co-founder, Anand Rajaram, has recently written a post on tests we used here at OfficeDrop during our recent site redesign to optimize our conversion rate. The post is found on Performable’s blog here: Optimizing Conversion Rates with Simple Tests.
When we remodeled our site, we took advantage of a large number of online tests to make the site experience better. Anand set up and ran some pretty cutting edge tests that helped us understand what our visitors were looking for, how they interacted with the site and where they got confused/lost the message/didn’t like the navigation. The post I’ve linked to above is the first in a series that he is going to write on how we did this.
Anand mentions a few pretty cool, cutting edge testing tools that we used, including UserTesting, Feedback Army, and FiveSecondTest.
Special thanks to the folks over at Performable for giving us the opportunity to post on their blog. They are a local, Cambridge MA company focused on helping startups turn website visitors into customers, and are a great contributor to the startup scene here in the Boston area.
