Why depth matters
Flat layouts are clear, but depth—shadows, parallax, and layered motion—adds *presence*. When done well, it feels premium without confusing navigation.
3D is a spectrum
You do not need a full game engine in the browser. Subtle 3D can mean:
- Card stacks with believable light and shadow
- Scroll-linked transforms on hero or product shots
- Section transitions that feel spatial, not gimmicky
Performance as a first-class goal
Cocodly nudges you toward patterns that keep frame budgets sane: prefer transform and opacity, cap simultaneous animations, and lazy-load heavy media. The result: sites that *feel* 3D while staying fast on real devices.
Build with restraint
The best “3D” marketing sites are **disciplined**: one hero moment, consistent lighting language, and typography that stays readable.
Use Cocodly to prototype immersion early, then tighten for production and SEO-friendly structure.
