Investigate and implement basic A/B testing. #69

A/B Testing could be a useful means of testing user experiences with the website and hence finding opportunities for usability improvements info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/B_testing

To investigate and implement some of the basic functionality of A/B testing an approach could be to use session variables as a means to assign and track testing groups and conditionals for the experiments.

To test this some basic copy could be chosen to be varied between users groups. When a user is directed to ALISS it should be checked whether or not the user has been assigned a group. If not they should be randomly placed in Group A or B. To avoid confusion the user should have a consistent experience between sessions.
