Some classic 'Choice Architecture' in here using primacy/recency
effects, framing and suchlike. I maintain that there is much to
discuss in the world of Behavioural Psychology (specifically Choice
Architecture [1]) that gets scant attention from those of us so
digitally minded.
Many thanks for promoting this URL William.

Clever stuff.
It's interesting to see some of the differences and parallels in
conventions between menu design and web design, which I am more used
to.
Hmmm... I'm hungry now!

Some sites are doing this on the web already. Check out the basecamp
pricing page. Even with just four options they use it.

boxes.
