The short answer

A 3D website usually costs $650 to $5,000 when it has one interactive WebGL scene or effect, $5,000 to $25,000 with a detailed 3D product view or a scroll story, and $25,000 or more with a product configurator. The price follows the 3D work, not the page count. At Enthros a 3D website starts at $650 with one WebGL scene or effect.

What does a 3D website cost?

As a rough guide, based on the quotes clients show us:

  • One interactive WebGL effect, such as a particle field or a moving backdrop: about $650 to $5,000
  • A detailed 3D product that visitors can turn, or a 3D scroll story: about $5,000 to $25,000
  • A configurator where buyers pick colours, parts and finishes: $25,000 and up

What moves the price up?

  • The 3D files: cleaning and compressing an existing CAD file costs less than building an object from photos
  • Detail and lighting: realistic materials take longer to tune for phones
  • Interaction: a scene that reacts to scroll and pointer needs more work than one that loops
  • Phone support: every scene needs a lighter version and a still fallback for older devices

Does 3D make a website slow?

It does not have to. Load the text and images first, load the scene after, compress the files and cap the detail on phones. The Enthros home page runs a WebGL field and still scores 98 to 100 on mobile PageSpeed.
