A/B Testing Idea #306 - Visually distinguish between important functions using colour, size and space

Tactic_Visually distinguish between important functions using colour, size and space

Description

To avoid grave slip-ups, make sure that important functions are highlighted by separating them and using a different colour. This will ensure that the user's attention is drawn to it and they won't click on it accidentally. This will improve user experience, avoid errors and frustration, and allow customers to clearly navigate through your site.

Inspired by Nick Kolenda
