A headstone designer on your own website
Families tap a line on a photograph of your stone and type. They turn it, place a symbol, see the letter heights in inches, and send you the design with a proof sheet. Nothing is cut until you confirm every letter with them.
On your site
It goes into the website you already have with one embed block, so if your builder has an HTML block, it works there. That covers Duda, WordPress, Shopify and Wix.
It carries your company name, your stones and your colours. There is no Headstone Designer badge in front of your families.
Each product gets its own designer, built from photographs of that stone in its own granite. When a family finishes, the design reaches you as a link, in your quote form or in your cart, with a proof sheet showing the stone front and angled, the inscription as text, the letter heights and a line to sign.
Setup, in order
Your website stays exactly as it is.
Your catalog
You send the stones families should be able to design, with the sizes and granites you sell.
Photographs
Each stone is photographed blank, straight on and from an angle. The face is measured in each photograph so the lettering lands where it would be cut.
Your lettering and artwork
The designer carries the lettering styles and emblems you offer.
Your handoff
The finished design is connected to your cart, your quote form or your inbox, whichever you use today.
On your site
One embed block on each product page.
Kept running
Hosting, browser updates and fixes are covered by the monthly fee.
What it costs
From $10,000: up to 15 of your stones, each photographed, fitted and lettering live on your own website, the guided flow, proof sheets, and every family's link into your inbox. More stones: $450 each, added any time. $150 a month for hosting, updates and fixes.
Smaller shop? You can also work from the family links alone: a $149 fee per order that signs, nothing up front.
Tell us where your website lives and we will send you a version on one of your own stones.
Questions
Will it work on my website? If your website builder lets you add an HTML or embed block, yes. That covers Duda, WordPress, Shopify and Wix. Nothing about your site has to be rebuilt.
Whose name do families see? Yours. The designer carries your company name, your stones and your colours.
What happens when a family finishes? They send you the link, or the design goes into your own quote form or cart, with a proof sheet: the lettered stone, the names and dates exactly as typed, the words, the lettering, the symbol and the letter heights.
Does anything get cut from what a family types? No. Nothing is cut until you confirm every letter with the family and approve the final layout, the same as you do now.
Can it use my own stones? Yes. Each designer is built from photographs of your stone in its own granite, so families letter the stone you actually sell.
What does it cost? From $10,000: up to 15 of your stones, each photographed, fitted and lettering live on your own website, the guided flow, proof sheets, and every family's link into your inbox.

What can families change? The stone (twelve to choose from: uprights, hearts, lawn markers, pet stones and a bench), the family name or a pet's name, one or two people, dates in four styles, the words (with a library of about fifty lines), five lettering styles, and fifteen symbols, from a cross or a dove to a paw print, placed at the top, in both upper corners or between the names, in three sizes. The stone shows its size in inches and says when a line would cut too small.
Are the stones here real? They are demonstration stones, each an estimate: grey, red and black single uprights about 24 to 30 inches wide; a grey companion for two, about 36 by 27; a grey heart about 24 inches across and a double heart about 36; a flat marker about 24 by 12, a bevel about 24 by 12 and a slant about 24 wide; a pet marker about 18 by 12 and a pet upright about 12 by 14; and a bench with a backrest about 48 inches wide and 20 high. The letter heights are estimates from those sizes. On your site the designer runs on your own stones.
