for me dark mode always wins
Joanna's avatar
I'm usually a fan of dark mode, but right now "light" is getting more conversions!

Although I usually like dark mode ones, between these I think light one looks better. Both great btw πŸ‘

Plus, the light is getting more conversions.

Dark mode!
Although I’d take a second look at that button text shadow
Joanna's avatar
Will do! We're actually using the light version right now because it's getting more conversions.

I like the Dark one more, there's better contrast and the color feels more natural
Neha's avatar
I'll always prefer dark mode.
Joanna's avatar
Same, but what's interesting is when we test "light" we got more conversions.

I’d keep the dark hero and steal one thing from the light, a tiny bit more breathing room around the headline so the message hits as hard as the color contrast

The Dark preserves visual heirarchy, however button contrast is off on both. Also the image takes up too much space, except you keep the site layout 'boxed' which looks more like a tab layout than PC. I would fix by slightly reducing image height, and placing your copy under

Thanks for the tips!

Although I usually prefer light, I think the dark them is one of those few exceptions for me :) The ultimate solution would be just to have light and dark that adapts to the user's system preferences and it's really not hard to achieve this :)
