HammerHead Trade Gear A Launch Page Built for the Trades

A tradesman invented a new way to carry a hammer, with a patent pending and prototypes headed to job sites. In 2 weeks I designed and built the page that explains it in seconds and turns interest into sign-ups and pledges.

The Brief

A Brand-New Idea Needs a Clear First Impression.

HammerHead is a body-mounted carry system for tools, starting with the framing hammer. It was designed by a working tradesman, holds through climbing, kneeling and ladder work, and comes out with one hand. The patent was filed in 2025.

Nobody had seen anything like it, and tradespeople don’t trust a slick pitch. Nilo needed a page that explained the system fast, spoke the language of the job site, and gave early believers three clear ways in: register interest, test a prototype or reserve a spot.

What success looked like

  • More qualified sign-ups
  • Trust with working tradespeople
  • The product, understood in seconds
  • Pledges and field testers
  • Mobile-first, for the job site
  • Fast and ready for future launches
The Challenge → The Solution

A Brand-New Product. Zero Room for Confusion.

Six things that stop a tradesman from signing up, and how the page answers each one.

  1. Weak product storyA clever invention, described like a spec sheet.
    “Built for The Draw.”A hero that names the moment every tradesman knows, then “Built by a tradesman, for tradesmen.”
  2. Little product educationVisitors couldn’t picture how the system actually works.
    The Architecture, explainedHow the body-mounted receiver and the tool-mounted node fit together, in plain words.
  3. No hard factsTradespeople want numbers, not adjectives.
    System specs, at a glanceRetention force, mounting, operation, patent status and stage, in one clean table.
  4. Lack of trustA pre-launch product can look like vapourware.
    Proof of progressA 3-stage roadmap (Architecture & IP, Field Validation, Industry Adoption) shows exactly where it stands.
  5. Unclear next stepInterested visitors had nowhere obvious to go.
    Three clear ways inRegister interest, apply to field-test a prototype, or reserve a spot with a pledge.
  6. No lead captureLong forms and gloves don’t mix.
    A 10-question tap survey“Tradesman to Tradesman”: all taps, no typing except a name and email.
