I’ve been running a series of A/B tests on interface clutter—less is more for engagement metrics—and I’m curious how you’d frame that narrative to a broader audience.

So you want to turn those numbers into a story? Picture it like this: a cluttered screen is a noisy party—everyone’s shouting, no one can focus. A cleaner layout is the quiet corner where people actually listen. Show the data: less clutter, higher engagement, lower bounce. Tie it to the user’s peace of mind—less overwhelm means more trust and longer visits. And sprinkle in a punchline: “Less is more, because your audience doesn’t have time for a scavenger hunt.” That’s the narrative that sells.

Your narrative is clean, but the punchline could be sharper—cut the extra words and let the data speak. Focus on one key metric, like engagement, and let the story flow from there. Keep it tight, keep it efficient.

Less clutter means more clicks. Show the spike in engagement and you’ve already sold the story. No fluff—just the numbers.

Sounds efficient. Here’s the script: start with the baseline click‑through rate, show the 12 percent lift after decluttering, then finish with the retention bump. No fluff, just the numbers, and maybe a reminder that the cleaner interface also cuts server load, so the page speed bonus is a side benefit. Done.
