Smart Stones with QR memory layers
Turn a photo slate into a story people can scan.
Choose any SlateArt photo slate, then add a QR story page, a voice message or a secret future message when you add it to the cart. The stone stays beautiful on the shelf, and the QR opens the memory behind it.
Story, Voice or Secret Message
Stable q.slateart.ie Smart Link
Lifetime access ยท no recurring hosting fees
Printed QR. Flexible story page.
The physical keepsake stays the same, while the online story can grow over time.
Simple for the customer
How it works
Smart Stones are add-ons to a physical photo slate. The customer chooses a slate, clicks Add to cart, then decides whether to keep it standard or add Story, Voice or Secret Message.
- Works with gallery designs and custom uploaded photo slates.
- The QR opens through a stable q.slateart.ie Smart Link.
- After checkout, we prepare the story access and setup instructions.
Add a memory layer
When you add the slate to the cart, choose Story, Voice, Secret Message or a bundle.
Scan the finished stone
The printed QR opens the private story, voice or time capsule experience.
Start with one Smart Stone
Buy the slate first. Add the memory layer when it matters.
For now, Smart Stones are simple: choose a physical photo slate, then add Story, Voice Message or Secret Message before checkout. If the same customer orders another Smart Stone later, we can keep the new QR story under the same customer account.
One stone first. More memories can be added later.
- Wedding slate + Voice
- Pet memorial + Story
- Family photo + Secret
- Gift slate + Story
- Memorial slate + Voice
- Shop QR page by request
If a customer buys again
Keep the account simple. Keep each QR story clear.
The safest flow is one customer account per email. Each purchased Smart Stone creates its own QR story inside that account. Different family members can keep separate accounts, or SlateArt can manually connect stories later if they ask.
No confusion. One QR code opens one clear memory.
Premium memory layers
Add more than photos and text. A SlateArt Story can carry a voice, a future message, or both.
Scan the stone. Open the story.
Add a private QR story page to any photo slate. The customer can add photos, dates, places and the memory behind the stone.

What the customer gets
After checkout, we create the customer account and send an activation link. The story page can include text, dates, location, main image, gallery images and a YouTube or Vimeo video link.
The QR code printed on a physical slate should point to a permanent
short link such as q.slateart.ie/AB123. If the story
moves later, the QR code can keep working.
Permanent QR redirect
The printed QR points to a short SlateArt link that can be updated later.
Customer login
The customer can activate their account and edit their assigned story.
Lightweight pages
Story pages are built to open quickly on mobile after scanning the QR code.
Popular uses
Designed for emotional, local and heritage stories rather than social media noise.
Memorial pages
Share a life story, photos, dates and memories from a memorial slate.
Pet keepsakes
Add a pet story and gallery to a dog, cat or animal memorial gift.
Heritage places
Link a building, landmark or local place to a simple public history page.
