Immersive Web Design — Full-Viewport 3D Sites
Sites where the entire viewport is a 3D space — navigation moves through space, typography floats, brand is the medium.
Immersive web design turns the entire site into a 3D space rather than 2D pages with embedded 3D. The whole viewport is WebGL canvas, navigation moves through space (not through pages), typography floats in 3D. Reserved for premium brands willing to make the site itself a statement. Technical demands: scene state across navigation, accessibility (skip links, screen-reader fallbacks, prefers-reduced-motion respect), mobile gets a dedicated lighter mode. Pricing \$8,000-\$20,000, 8-12 week delivery. Strongest fit: museums, luxury fashion, art installations, experimental portfolios. Most brands shouldn't commit to immersive — too expensive for the conversion lift.
Technical foundation
Stack: Three.js v0.170 with GSAP for animation timeline, Lenis for smooth scroll, Vite for build, GLSL for custom shaders when needed. Hosting on a Hetzner / DigitalOcean equivalent — fast first byte, HTTP/2, Brotli compression, CDN for static assets. Lighthouse mobile 85+ guaranteed.
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.
Concrete deliverable
What you receive at handover: a working Immersive Web Design — Full-Viewport 3D Sites on production hosting, all source files committed to your GitHub repo, og-images for social sharing, basic schema.org markup, sitemap entry, and a 5-min walkthrough video. The site is yours from day one — I never hold code hostage.
