WebGL Portfolio — Custom Built for Designers and Devs

A WebGL portfolio for creative professionals — real shader work, scroll-driven scenes, and custom interactions, not template-based.

A WebGL portfolio for creative professionals goes beyond Squarespace template territory. Custom shader work, scroll-driven scene transitions, magnetic cursor with proper interpolation, accessible structure beneath the WebGL layer. Pricing \$3,500-\$7,000 for a solo creative, \$5,000-\$12,000 for an agency. Delivered in 5-7 weeks. The technical layer: Three.js for scene management, GSAP for timeline orchestration, Lenis for smooth scroll, custom GLSL for distinctive effects. Result: a portfolio that gets remembered among the 30 generic ones a hiring manager scrolls through in a week.

What this delivers

Concrete output: a working webgl portfolio integration on a real production site, not a demo. The integration includes device-tier detection so weak phones get a lighter version automatically. Source files are handed over in their original formats — Blender, GLSL, glTF — so any future developer can continue where I stopped.

How I work with it

On a typical project, webgl portfolio ships as a self-contained module: one entry-point JS file, one CSS file, asset bundle below 1.5MB total. I keep the integration sandboxed so the rest of the site stays SEO-friendly classical HTML. Frame budget targets 60 FPS on a mid-range Android, with a measurable fallback below.

Performance budget

Lighthouse mobile target: 85+ across all categories. I measure on real devices, not just emulator. Asset compression: glTF + Draco for meshes, KTX2 for textures, Brotli for shaders. Lazy-load any webgl portfolio scene that isn't above the fold so the first paint stays under 1.5s.

When this is overkill

If the goal is a simple e-commerce listing or content blog, a full webgl portfolio setup is overkill — a CSS-driven hero plus static images converts just as well at 1/10 the cost. webgl portfolio earns its keep when the brand needs a memorable visual moment or when 3D actually clarifies the product (configurators, tours, demos).

Frequently asked questions

Why pick this technology over alternatives?

It has the largest production-quality ecosystem, the most documentation, and the most experienced developers available. For a site you want to maintain for 3+ years, ecosystem maturity matters more than feature peak.

What if a newer tool comes out next year?

I track new tooling and migrate when it makes sense, but only after the new tool ships stable production releases for at least 6-9 months. I don't rebuild client sites on bleeding-edge tools — that's the path to broken sites.

How long does this take?

Standard scope: 4-6 weeks from contract signature to live site. Larger scope (configurator, multi-scene scrollytelling) takes 8-12 weeks. Rush projects (2-3 weeks) are accepted with a 30-40% rush surcharge.

What does it cost?

Hero-section 3D upgrade: \$1,500-\$2,500. Full multi-scene 3D site: \$3,500-\$8,000. Configurator with custom shaders: \$5,000-\$12,000. All fixed-price, source code included. EUR equivalents on request.

What if my visitors are on weak phones?

The site detects device tier before the first scene loads and serves a lighter version on weak hardware (fewer particles, simpler shaders). Devices without WebGL get a static fallback that preserves the visual language and conversion path.
