Web Narrative Design — Structuring Story for Browser
Designing narrative for the browser is different from print or video — pacing, scroll mechanics, attention budgets all differ.
Web narrative design sits between content strategy and motion design. Print pacing assumes the reader controls the time; web pacing splits between scroll-driven (you control) and click-driven (visitor controls). Mobile attention budgets are short (8-12 seconds before bounce), so the first scroll must hook immediately. The narrative arc compresses: opening hook → core idea → proof → CTA, all in 4-6 scroll segments. Pricing \$4,000-\$10,000 for narrative-led sites including writing assistance, scene composition, GSAP timeline orchestration.
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.
