AR Website Design — Augmented Reality in Browser
Web AR via model-viewer or 8th Wall — visitors place 3D models in their physical space through phone camera.
AR website design adds augmented reality to existing sites. Technical approaches: Google's model-viewer (simplest, single-model AR via Quick Look on iOS and Scene Viewer on Android), 8th Wall (commercial, most powerful platform for branded AR), Zappar (between, mid-budget projects). Pricing \$2,500-\$6,000 for model-viewer based, \$5,000-\$15,000 for 8th Wall projects with custom AR logic. Strongest fit: furniture and home decor (room placement), fashion (try-on for jewelry, watches, glasses), educational content (place historical models in space). Weaker fit for products where physical context doesn't add information.
Where it fits
This service is the right call when the brand needs a visual moment that ranks beyond the average competitor — agencies pitching new business, premium e-commerce, portfolios that need to look ahead-of-curve. If you need a basic content site or blog, a static-site generator without 3D is more economical and ranks just as well for simple keyword targets.
Timeline
Discovery week 1, design week 1-2, development weeks 2-5, integration and QA week 5-6. Total: 4-6 weeks for the standard scope. Larger scope (configurator, multi-scene scrollytelling) extends to 8-12 weeks. I send weekly progress in writing — you always know where the project stands.
