Vignola's sequence runs bottom-up: settle the body, interrupt the loop, install a new narrative, then reward it. A landing page can follow the same order, in the seconds it has.
Step 1
Audit the automatic scripts
Behaviour runs on loops laid down by repetition. Visitors carry loops about businesses like yours before they read a word.
On the page: we list the five assumptions your real customers arrive with, then write the page against that list rather than against a template.
Step 2
Regulate first
Cognitive change asks too much while the system sits in a high-arousal threat state. Bodily calm comes first.
On the page: a fast load, steady layout, calm motion and plain language — the page equivalent of a physiological sigh before anything is asked.
Step 3
Introduce the pattern break
A brief pause hands control from automatic circuits back to deliberate ones.
On the page: one unexpected, specific element early — a real number, a photo of the actual team, a straight answer to the price question — that stops the skim.
Step 4
Install the new narrative
Reframing changes the chemistry: threat-based self-talk becomes growth-focused, and stress hormones drop.
On the page: each old assumption gets a replacement sentence, placed exactly where it would otherwise stop the reader.
Step 5
Anchor with a micro-win
Acknowledging a small success releases dopamine and helps consolidate the new pathway.
On the page: instant, warm confirmation — a clear thank-you screen, a named next step, a message that arrives within seconds of the click.
