Custom tombstone eCommerce headless website example
Uncle Johny's Tombstones is a humorous custom memorial stone eCommerce site built on Wix Headless, letting customers browse stone styles, choose inscriptions and order tombstones through a darkly theatrical animated shopping experience.
The site uses Wix eCommerce APIs for product customization and checkout, Wix CMS to manage stone styles and inscription options, all delivered through a Gothic-animated custom frontend. It's a strong example of what a headless cms can do when creative teams have full control over the frontend experience.

The site opens in near-black with a bare silhouetted tree fading in from the corner and a typewriter cursor blinking through the greeting Hello, dear... in a classic serif. An ambient sound toggle sits in the bottom-right corner, setting a theatrical, immersive tone before any product is shown. The interaction immediately frames the shopping experience as an event rather than a transaction.
Scrolling reveals three-column review cards from fictional customers: Bartholomew Graves (Satisfied occupant, Plot 12), Mildred Thornbury (Grieving niece and sole heir) and Reginald P. Wraith (Verified apparition, haunting since 1888), each with five stars and tongue-in-cheek testimonials. Every copy point stays inside the fictional universe, a creative commitment made possible only by full frontend control via Wix Headless.
