UX mistakes often go undetected because they are quiet. They aren’t a broken image or a misspelled word or a form that isn’t sending. No, UX mistakes are foundational.

What do you do when you have a low traffic site? Can you still run A/B tests? Well, it depends what you qualify as a low-traffic site. You need to have some volume, of course. And there’s higher risk involved without the surplus of data. But sometimes you can still test. While it’s easier to test when you have a million visitors a month and a thousand sales a day, that’s a luxury not a lot of small businesses and startups experience.

And because team members spend so much time together, they've often privy to relatively small details and actions -- both positive and negative -- that others more removed from the environment might miss.
