Cognitive bias

Cognitive biases are predictable shortcuts in human judgment, such as weighing recent events too heavily or fearing losses more than valuing gains.

Why it matters

They shape how buyers read prices, guarantees and choices. Good pages work with them honestly instead of exploiting them.

In practice

  • Frame guarantees as protection from loss.
  • Show recent proof, not only old awards.
  • Keep choices few and clear.
