Scroll-Driven 3D Website with Chapter-Based Storytelling
A site that unfolds as a sequence of 3D chapters — scroll moves the camera, scene morphs, and the narrative builds toward a single CTA.
Scroll-driven 3D websites work like a timeline: you scroll, the camera moves, the scene morphs, each chapter delivers one focused message. The technical core is GSAP ScrollTrigger orchestrating Three.js scene transitions, with Lenis smooth scroll layered on top. This format earns the most attention for brands selling premium products or services where a single hero doesn't carry the message — fashion houses, luxury real estate, fintech startups, conference microsites. Typical timeline: 5-7 weeks delivery for a 3-5 chapter site. Pricing in the \$3,500-\$8,000 range.
Engagement model
Fixed price, fixed deadline, payment on delivery. The price covers up to two rounds of revision within original scope. Out-of-scope changes are quoted separately before any work happens. No retainer required, no monthly minimum. We agree once, I deliver, you pay.
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.
