How I use Microsite in practice

A small, focused website or section created for a specific campaign, product, event or audience.

What to watch out for

I use Microsite to support a specific decision rather than as a label or a standalone metric. I begin by identifying the audience, the situation and the result that needs to change. I then establish what evidence is available, who will act on the finding and what practical next step should follow. I record the baseline, measurement date and limits of interpretation, so that a real improvement can later be separated from changes in tools, sampling, implementation or the wording of a query. This keeps the work connected to the customer journey and to the commercial context, rather than turning it into a presentation number.

Questions to guide the decision

  • What specific decision should this clarify?
  • What evidence supports the conclusion, and what remains a hypothesis?
  • What will we do differently as a result?
  • Who owns the change and when will we assess its impact?
