Sandalwood Memorials

We architected a hybrid headless platform that delivers the best of both worlds. WordPress and WooCommerce power the backend—familiar, flexible, and fully under the sales team's control for product management, pricing, and order handling. Next.js drives the customer-facing site, delivering server-side rendering, blazing-fast page loads, and exceptional Core Web Vitals. We connected the two via GraphQL using WPGraphQL and WooGraphQL, so the Next.js front-end fetches only the data it needs—products, categories, custom fields, media—without the bloat of traditional REST. The standout feature: an immersive 3D memorial renderer built with Three.js. Families can explore headstones, plaques, and monuments in real time, swap stone colours, preview inscriptions, and understand scale before requesting a brochure or enquiry. The design is compassionate and elegant—serene photography, warm typography, clear CTAs for 'Our Memorials', 'Request Brochure', and 'Enquire', with WhatsApp for instant support. The result is a site that feels premium and performant whilst giving the team full control behind the scenes.
