Unearth - Compelling Metaldetecting Landing Page Template

Quick summary

Unearth is a single-page, scroll-driven landing page for a metal detecting supply store. It opens with a dramatic Before/After Slider, then walks visitors through escalating gear comparisons covering detectors, coils, pinpointers, digging tools, and carry bags. A three-question Detector Quiz outputs a personalized gear recommendation. Every section ends with a gold-on-obsidian call to action that routes directly to a filtered category page.

Who this template is for

This template is designed for metal detecting retailers who sell to a highly specific, passionate audience. It works equally well for established shops and newer stores that want to position themselves as the knowledgeable alternative to big-box retailers.

• Weekend relic hunters and beach detectorists looking to upgrade their gear
• Specialty retailers catering to experienced hobbyists who research before buying
• Store owners who want to replace scattered forum threads with a single, authoritative page

What problem this template solves

Most hobby shoppers arrive with fragmented knowledge gathered from YouTube videos and forum posts. They need confidence, not just a product grid. This template replaces that scattered research journey with a structured, in-page experience that does the comparison work for the visitor.

• Visitors often cannot tell which detector tier matches their soil type or skill level
• Product pages alone rarely explain why one coil outperforms another at depth
• Shoppers leave without buying because they are not yet sure enough to commit

What you get with this template

You get a complete, ready-to-customize single-page layout built around gear education and click-through conversion. Every design decision serves the detectorist mindset: patient, methodical, and rewarded by the right choice.

• A viewport-filling Before/After Slider header with a fade-in headline
• Five escalating comparison sections covering detectors, coils, pinpointers, digging tools, and carry bags
• A three-question Detector Quiz that outputs a personalized gear recommendation with a direct category link

Feature list

This template delivers six purpose-built components that work together to move an uncertain visitor toward a confident purchase decision.

Before/After Slider Header

The header splits the viewport in two. The left side shows unremarkable ground; dragging the slider reveals a hand holding a freshly recovered silver coin. A single headline, "What's under your feet right now?", fades in below. The interaction sets the emotional tone immediately.

Escalating Gear Comparison Cards

Each comparison section pairs two or three products side by side on illuminated cards. Differences in frequency range, discrimination modes, weight, and ground balance are highlighted in gold on hover. The progression moves from entry-level detectors through aftermarket coils, pinpointers, digging tools, and carry bags.

Coil Depth Diagram Overlays

The coil comparison section includes overlay diagrams showing detection depth cones for stock coils, sniper coils, and wide-scan plates. These visual aids make abstract specifications tangible and help shoppers understand the real-world trade-offs of each coil type.

Three-Question Detector Quiz

A short quiz asks about terrain type, experience level, and budget range. It outputs a personalized gear recommendation with a direct link to the matching filtered category page. This path serves visitors who prefer guidance over independent browsing.

Gold-on-Obsidian Call-to-Action System

Each comparison section closes with a "Shop Your Setup" button in warm struck-gold on deep obsidian. On mobile, this button persists as a floating bottom bar. Every click routes to a pre-filtered category page so visitors land already narrowed to the right equipment tier.

No-Cart Click-Through Architecture

There is no cart on this page. The design intentionally routes every action to a relevant category page. This keeps the landing page focused on education and confidence-building rather than transactional friction.

Page sections overview

Design & branding system

The visual identity uses a Soft Gradient theme built on an Obsidian and Gold color system. Deep volcanic black fades through charcoal smoke into dusky slate, giving the page a rich, dark earth feel. Warm struck-gold appears only on interactive elements, keeping the eye moving to what matters.

• Core palette: deep obsidian (#1A1A2E), charcoal smoke (#30305A), dusky slate (#4A4E69), struck-gold (#C9A84C), and pale bone white (#F2EFEA)
• Gold is reserved for buttons, price tags, hover states, and comparison highlights so it never loses its visual weight
• Pale bone white handles product specs, card surfaces, and comparison tables so equipment details stay clean and readable against the dark background

Mobile & speed optimization

The layout is designed to remain fully functional and persuasive on smaller screens. The floating bottom call-to-action bar ensures mobile visitors always have a clear next step without needing to scroll back up.

• Comparison cards stack vertically on mobile so the side-by-side structure remains scannable
• The floating "Shop Your Setup" bar persists at the bottom of the screen throughout the mobile scroll session
• The Before/After Slider and quiz both adapt to touch interaction for a natural mobile experience

How this template helps you convert

The page is structured to reduce the decision-making effort for the visitor at every scroll step. By the time a shopper reaches the bottom, they have done the equivalent of hours of independent research inside a single, well-designed page.

1. The comparison journey builds progressive confidence, so each new section makes the visitor feel more knowledgeable and more ready to buy rather than more overwhelmed.
2. The Detector Quiz provides a personalized shortcut for visitors who know their terrain and budget but are unsure which product tier fits, converting hesitation into a direct category click.
