Screenshot Redesign Case Study Template: Measure the Change Honestly
A reusable format for documenting a screenshot redesign with a clear hypothesis, controlled treatment, store metrics, uncertainty, and an honest result.
Document the Redesign, Not a Made-Up Win
A useful case study shows the control, treatment, audience, measurement method, uncertainty, and result. It does not begin with a conversion percentage chosen for the headline.
1. Define the Baseline
Archive the current screenshot set and record the app version, storefront, locale, traffic sources, product-page views, first-time downloads, conversion metric, date range, and any active campaign. Explain the problem in observable terms, such as an unclear first promise or unreadable localized captions.
2. State One Hypothesis
Example: replacing a feature-list first frame with a benefit-led interface demonstration will improve first-time downloads for US App Store Search traffic. A specific hypothesis makes the treatment reviewable and keeps unrelated redesign choices out of the test.
3. Show the Treatment
Include the original and treatment creative at the same scale. List exactly what changed: message, screenshot order, interface state, frame treatment, background, or localization. If several things changed together, say so; the result cannot identify which change caused the difference.
4. Report the Result Completely
Record traffic allocation, duration, sample, primary metric, reported confidence or uncertainty, and overlapping releases or acquisition changes. A flat or negative result is still useful. Do not call a treatment a winner because it briefly moved upward early in the run.
What Readers Should Be Able to Verify
The assets
Control and treatment are visible or linked.
The audience
Storefront, locale, source, and device scope are explicit.
The method
The platform experiment or comparison design is described.
The uncertainty
Sample, confidence, and limitations accompany the headline metric.
The decision
The team explains what changed next and why.
This is a case-study template, not a claim that ASOShot or any screenshot redesign guarantees a particular result.
Build the Treatment
Duplicate the current visual system, change one meaningful idea, and export both variants at the same store sizes.
