Analytics for Designers

What to Track

Question	Metric	Tool
Do users find X?	Click-through rate to X	Product analytics
Can users complete Y?	Task completion rate	Funnel analysis
Where do users struggle?	Drop-off points	Funnel analysis
How do users navigate?	Flow analysis	Path analysis
What do users ignore?	Feature adoption rate	Usage analytics
Is the new design better?	A/B test results	Experimentation platform

Design Decisions from Data

1. High bounce rate on page → Redesign above-fold content
2. Users clicking non-interactive elements → Make them interactive or change visual treatment
3. Low feature adoption → Improve discoverability or question the feature's value
4. Long form completion time → Simplify the form
5. Users rage-clicking → Something is broken or confusing

Qualitative + Quantitative

• Analytics tells you WHAT users do
• Research tells you WHY users do it
• Use both. Never just one.
