Immersive Web

Web experiences people explore, not just scroll past.

Static pages lose attention. Video embeds get ignored. Your audience expects more. We build interactive web experiences — WebGL, 3D environments, scroll-driven narratives, and product microsites that turn passive visitors into active explorers. The web page becomes the experience.

Why most websites are forgettable

You're competing for attention in a world where every website looks the same. Hero section, three feature cards, testimonial slider, footer. Nobody remembers you because there's nothing to remember. Here's what's broken:

//
Template-based design thinking
Your site was built from a WordPress theme or a component library. It looks "nice" but it's indistinguishable from 10,000 other sites. There's no unique experience, no reason to linger, no moment that makes someone say "whoa" and share the link.
//
Video as decoration, not interaction
You embedded a video in the hero section and called it "immersive." But a background video is passive content on a passive page. Real immersion means the visitor is an active participant — scrolling, exploring, discovering — not just watching.
//
Developers who can't design, designers who can't code
You've seen the Awwwards sites, the interactive product reveals, the scroll-driven storytelling. You want that. But your web team builds CRUD apps, and your designers mockup flat pages. The gap between vision and execution is a canyon.
//
Immersive web = expensive and slow (usually)
Traditional interactive agencies charge $100K+ and take 3-6 months. By the time it ships, your product has changed, your campaign is over, and the experience feels dated. The timeline kills the ambition.

What a WithLore immersive web experience includes

We combine narrative design with interactive technology to build web experiences that people actually want to spend time in. Every project is story-first, technology-second — the tech serves the experience, not the other way around.

01
Experience Concept & Storyboard
We design the user journey before writing a line of code. What does the visitor discover? When do they feel surprise? Where does the product reveal happen? The experience is scripted like a film.
02
3D & WebGL Development
Three.js, R3F, custom WebGL — whatever the experience demands. 3D product viewers, interactive environments, particle systems, shader effects. Built for performance across devices.
03
Scroll-Driven Narrative
The scroll becomes the controller. Content reveals through movement — animations trigger on scroll, 3D scenes rotate, text layers emerge. The visitor drives the story forward with their thumb.
04
Interactive Microsites
Standalone experiences for product launches, campaigns, or brand stories. Purpose-built pages that exist outside your main site, designed for virality and sharing.
05
Performance Optimization
Immersive doesn't mean slow. We optimize for mobile, manage asset loading, and ensure smooth 60fps performance. The experience works on a phone in a subway, not just a studio display.

Questions about immersive web

It's a web page that goes beyond reading and clicking. Think: 3D product viewers you can rotate, scroll-driven animations that reveal a story as you move down the page, interactive environments you can explore, particle effects that respond to your mouse, and WebGL scenes that make people stop and stare. It's the difference between reading about a product and experiencing it.
Yes — we build mobile-first. Every experience is optimized for touch interactions, smaller screens, and lower-powered devices. We use progressive enhancement: the core experience works everywhere, with additional visual complexity on devices that can handle it. 60fps on a recent iPhone is the baseline, not the stretch goal.
Typically 2-4 weeks from concept to deployment. Simpler scroll-driven experiences can ship in under 2 weeks. Complex WebGL environments with custom 3D assets take closer to 4. We use AI-accelerated asset creation and proven interaction patterns to move fast without sacrificing quality. See our pricing tiers for scoping details.
Two options: we build it as a standalone microsite on a subdomain or landing page, or we build embeddable components that integrate into your existing site. Standalone is faster and gives us full creative control. Embedded works well for product pages or specific campaign sections within your current site architecture.
We optimize aggressively for performance. Asset loading is progressive, 3D scenes initialize after critical content renders, and we use code splitting to keep initial bundle sizes small. For SEO-critical pages, we ensure all text content is crawlable and the interactive layer enhances rather than replaces the content. The numbers typically improve — longer time on site, lower bounce rate, higher engagement — all signals Google rewards.

Your website should be an experience, not just a page.
