Most sites look the same. Yours won't.
Reading about cinematic websites is not the same as scrolling one.
We rebuilt our own pitch as a scroll film: one continuous scroll, real client footage, no slides. The page is the demo. It takes about a minute.
See our site as a scroll film →DappaSol is a senior-led studio offering 3D web design services: cinematic, scroll-driven 3D websites people stop and screenshot. Real WebGL, a story that unfolds as you scroll, performance-tuned to run smooth on a phone. The kind of 3D website agencies charge $10k+ for, built fast and founder-direct from $3,000.
A template just sits there.
You poured everything into the brand, then shipped the same Webflow template as everyone else. People land, glance, and bounce. The site doesn't do a job, it just exists. Here's what a forgettable site is quietly costing you:
A site people screenshot does your marketing for free. that is the whole point
The Cinematic
Site.
One senior team builds you a scroll-driven 3D site that reads like a short film, not a brochure. WebGL where it earns its place, motion with intent, and a performance pass so it flies on a phone. You watch it come together on a live link, not in a big reveal at the end.
Concretely, that means real-time 3D or a scroll-scrubbed frame sequence rendered on WebGL, scroll choreography built with GSAP ScrollTrigger, and a hard performance budget so heavy scenes still hold 60fps and degrade gracefully on older phones. This is the work most 3D web design agencies staff with full creative teams over months and bill at six figures. We do a comparable 3D scroll website senior-led, at a fixed price, from $3,000. If you want the full budget picture first, read our breakdown of how much a 3D / scroll website costs, or see how we stack up against the flagship studios in the best 3D animation website design companies.

Direction
first
We agree the one feeling the site should land and the moment people will screenshot. Concept, references, the scroll story. No code until the idea is right.
Build
the film
Senior hands build the WebGL, choreograph the scroll, and grade it like a short film. You see it on a live link as it grows, so there are no surprises.
Tune
& ship
We push it smooth on mobile, wire up the SEO and analytics, launch it, and hand over every file. Then it's yours, forever.
Before you ask.
Won't a 3D website be slow or break on mobile?
That's the part most people get wrong, and the part we obsess over. We tune the WebGL, compress and stream the assets, and degrade gracefully so it runs smoothly on phones. A 3D site that janks is worse than no 3D site, so performance is a launch requirement, not an afterthought.
Is a 3D / scroll site bad for SEO?
Not the way we build it. The content and copy are real HTML that Google and AI search engines can read, with proper meta, schema and a sitemap. The cinematic layer sits on top of a crawlable page, so you get the wow factor without going invisible to search.
How long does a cinematic 3D site take?
Most land in a few weeks, not months. We scope the exact timeline and fixed price up front, then you see it come together on a live link as we build, not in a big reveal at the end.
Do I own everything?
All of it. Code, 3D assets, source files, the lot, in your repos and accounts. No lock-in, no rented platform, no monthly hostage situation.
What does it cost?
These sites used to start at $10,000 or more from an agency. Founder-direct, ours start lower with a fixed price scoped on a short call. No hourly meter, no surprise invoice.
How much does a 3D website cost?
Templated 3D effects run $500 to $3,000 but look generic and rarely perform on mobile. A custom scroll-animated landing page usually runs $5,000 to $15,000, and a full WebGL site with bespoke 3D and shaders runs $20,000 to $50,000-plus, with Awwwards-tier agency productions starting near $60,000. Our senior-led, founder-direct builds start at $3,000 with a fixed price scoped on a short call. See the full 3D scroll website cost breakdown for what drives the number.
Do 3D sites work on mobile?
Yes, when they are built for it, and that is exactly where cheap 3D sites fall apart. We set a performance budget from day one, compress and stream the 3D assets, cap the render load, and degrade gracefully so the experience stays smooth on mid-range phones. A 3D site that janks on mobile is worse than no 3D site, so the mobile pass is a launch requirement here, not an add-on.
Who builds 3D scroll websites?
The flagship studios in this space are names like Active Theory, Resn, Immersive Garden, Unseen Studio and Locomotive, who staff full creative teams and bill six figures per site. DappaSol is the founder-direct alternative: the same craft, senior engineers only, one person accountable end to end, at a fixed price from $3,000. We have shipped for ShapeShift, CoinDesk, Komodo, SALT and WallStreetBets.
