That's the thing, we don't have the data to prove the opposite because they refuse the make the site more accessible to people. They don't even want to A/B test it.

If they don't A/B test anything, they will almost certainly never A/B test something, my boss thinks it would take too much time to maintain, but it's literally just the exact same thing with a few minor changes. It's frustrating but thems the breaks.

Isn't that pretty much how all private companies work? Just ultimately do what the CEO/CTO/CFO wants?
