3D websites with WebGL – experiences people remember
A 3D website turns a visit into an experience: products you can rotate, landscapes you scroll through, ideas shown in motion. We build these sites with WebGL and Three.js – so they run smoothly on phones too and fall back gracefully on older devices.
A WebGL mosaic made from our own films: the shards assemble in space and come apart as you scroll on. Built with three.js and a custom shader.
What’s included
Every variant runs live right here – go ahead and drag, tap and scroll.

Interactive 3D scenes
Models, rooms or landscapes that visitors can rotate, explore and click.
Scroll animations
Content that builds as you scroll and tells a story – with GSAP and ScrollTrigger.
Particles & shaders
Custom effects that run directly on the graphics card – like the particle transition on our homepage.
wimmer-webservices.com/motion
Motion graphics
Animated logos, type and figures as a short sequence – built in code, crisp at any size and far lighter than a video.
Try it yourself
Performance on phones
We optimise models, textures and frame rate so the scene runs smoothly on mid-range phones too.
Fallbacks for older devices
Without WebGL or with reduced motion switched on, visitors see a complete static version – with no error message.
Accessible & findable
Text stays real HTML: readable for screen readers and for Google.
Who it’s for
Concept projects: fictional businesses, real technology.
Brands and products that want to show more than a photo can
Wineries, hotels, property and places people should experience before they visit
Start-ups and tech companies that need to make an abstract idea visible
Campaigns and product launches that need to stand out
What makes a good 3D website
Technically, 3D in the browser runs on WebGL, an interface to the graphics card that all modern browsers support. Three.js is the best-known library for it. Visitors don’t need a plugin or an app – the scene starts right there on the website. Besides custom effects written in code, finished 3D models can be included too – for example in glTF, a format designed specifically for the web.

The most common mistake with 3D websites: the effect comes before the content. A scene that takes ten seconds to load before anyone learns what the site is about costs you visitors. So we load 3D afterwards: headline, text and navigation are there immediately, and the scene joins in as soon as it’s ready. We keep models and textures as small as possible.

Content first, effect second – nobody waits for the scene.
It’s just as important to think of everyone who won’t see the experience in full: older phones, laptops without strong graphics, people who have turned on reduced motion in their system settings. For them there’s a well-designed static version that informs just as well. And because all text stays real HTML, search engines and screen readers can read it.

3D is worth it when it explains something or makes it tangible in a way a photo can’t – a product from every side, a location in its landscape, a process in motion. Whether that applies to you is something we discuss in the first conversation. Sometimes a well-placed animation does more than a whole 3D world. In the clickable prototype you see early on how the scene feels – on a big screen just as much as on a phone.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a 3D website cost?
A single 3D scene for an existing site starts at €1,190 (usually up to €1,990), a 3D website with several scenes at €2,790 (usually up to €6,390) – no VAT is charged (Austrian small business exemption). Custom 3D models or a configurator come on top. After the first call you get a fixed price.
Does a 3D website work on mobile?
Yes, if it’s built for it. We plan for phones from the start and test on real devices. Older devices automatically get a lighter or static version.
Will 3D make my site slow?
Not if it’s done right. Content and navigation load first, and the 3D scene is added afterwards. That keeps the site fast, even if the scene itself needs a moment to load.
Is 3D bad for SEO?
No, as long as all important text is on the page as real HTML and doesn’t disappear into the graphics. That’s how we build our 3D sites. The scene is an extra; the content stays readable for Google.
Do I need ready-made 3D models?
Not necessarily. We’re happy to include existing models, for example from product development, and prepare them for the web. But many effects need no model at all – they’re made from particles, shapes and light.
