One of the things we focus on as an website design agency is staying sharp on what makes a website feel modern, creative and engaging. Over the past few years we’ve worked on a mix of projects using different design techniques and animation styles to help our clients stand out.
Here are eight of our favourite examples in no particular order
1. Soapbox
We built the Soapbox site in 2024. They’ve completely rethought how people experience music using 3D holograms to bring legendary artists to life.
We created a scroll-triggered effect using Three.js that mimics stepping into a VR headset. It starts with a 3D model of a headpiece then moves into a full-screen video that shows off the platform before pulling you back out.
It does a great job of showing what Soapbox is all about. WebGL Three.js fixed scrolling and clever spacing all work together to create a properly immersive effect.
Props to Patrick and Tyler for making this one happen

2. Recharge
Recharge is a global brand offering prepaid gift cards. We worked with them in 2024 to give their site a proper overhaul.
The main effect is a scrolling animation that takes you through the different types of cards they offer. We also built a 3D slider where users can explore different Recharge products and partner sites.
It uses a mix of a Three.js canvas for the floating bits and GSAP animations for the rest. Simple idea but well executed.
Big shout to the dev team and the client for being great to work with

3. Gorilla Science
We built this one last year. Gorilla Science creates science content with a twist. There’s nothing too complex in terms of tech no 3D no fancy frameworks but it’s a great example of how to use animation and interaction to bring a site to life.
It’s all about the details here. Micro-interactions page transitions and subtle movement give it loads of personality.
Nice work from Peter and Tyler on this

4. Nato Innovation Fund
This was a long-running project across 2023 and 2024. The fund backs new tech that supports defence and security and they wanted a site that felt modern open and forward-looking.
We extended their brand visuals with custom icons and illustrations and added clean layouts and scroll-based animation to make it feel more dynamic without overdoing it.
Really nice to be involved with this one. Great team to work with

5. Landways
Landways design and install digital infrastructure for stadiums and large venues. We built their new site to reflect that same level of innovation.
There’s no heavy tech here. Just smart use of animation hover states and scroll effects to give the site energy without affecting performance.
Clean modern and sharp. Exactly what it needed to be

6. Fairvue
Fairvue Partners work in a sector that can feel a bit dry so this one was about showing that even serious businesses can have a fresh and engaging website.
The design is clean the animations are subtle and we used fixed-position scrolling to add some depth. No need for flashy effects just solid design and development doing their job

7. SiTESPAN
This site is a good example of how we’re bringing more 3D work into our projects. It uses a WebGL background with light scroll-based movement to add a sense of depth.
It’s the kind of thing that makes a site feel different. You can tell when something has been properly designed and built and when it hasn’t. That’s what we’re focusing on here and pushing further in future builds like Modern

8. Altnets
We’ve just launched the new Altnets site. It’s clean modern and has the right amount of motion and interactivity to keep things interesting.
No need for heavy libraries here. Just good design and lightweight code working together to make something that feels polished and professional

Final thoughts
Interactivity and animation are key to making a website feel engaging. They don’t just look good they help keep people on the page and make your brand more memorable.
And it doesn’t always mean big frameworks or complicated tech. A well-built site with the right design choices can go a long way.
These are just a few of the projects we’ve worked on recently. If you’re looking for a site that stands out and gets noticed get in touch.
