AxisLab: 3D website built on HubSpot.

An in-house project we built to show what HubSpot CMS can do with real-time 3D, motion and smooth scrolling.

About the project

Axis Lab is a fictional design studio we created for one reason: to show what we can build. Prospects often assume a HubSpot website has to look like a template. We wanted a site with real-time 3D and fluid motion that still runs on HubSpot CMS.

The site is built around 3D objects we designed ourselves, with scroll-driven scenes and interactive modules on top. Every section sits in a HubSpot module, so the content is as easy to edit as any client site we build.

What we did

  • 1 Invented a studio brand and built its 3D world in Spline and Three.js.
  • 2 Made the 3D respond to scroll and cursor, with GSAP, Motion and Lenis.
  • 3 Built every page on HubSpot CMS, editable like any client site.

Why we built it

Telling a prospect their HubSpot site can look like anything only goes so far. They need something to click through. Axis Lab is that something: real-time 3D, scroll-driven motion and smooth scrolling, all on the CMS their marketing team already uses.

The brief we set ourselves

What Axis Lab had to prove

  • 01 HubSpot CMS can run real-time 3D
  • 02 Heavy motion with smooth scrolling
  • 03 Interactive modules can stay editable in HubSpot
  • 04 A full multi-page site, not a one-off demo

Our Approach

Two developers, one designer and five weeks. We built the 3D objects before the pages, because everything on the site moves around them, then planned each page around what those objects do as you scroll.

Five pages, one 3D world

Every page shares the same objects and motion rules, so the studio feels like one continuous space. The nav stays short: services, work, the team and a direct line to book a meeting.

3D in every section

  • Scroll scenes objects move as you scroll
  • Cursor reactions 3D follows the mouse
  • Hover states buttons, cards and menu
  • Editable modules all inside HubSpot

The final build

Axis Lab feels like a creative studio's site, but underneath it is a standard HubSpot build. The 3D, motion and scrolling live inside modules, and the content is edited the same way our clients edit theirs.

Typography & Colours

Axis Lab keeps the palette tight so the 3D can do the talking: black space, one electric blue and white type. Headlines are bold and uppercase, with small body copy beside them.

What we built

The result is a five-page studio site that behaves like an experience and edits like a normal HubSpot build.

  • 01

    Research and moodboard

    References from 3D-led studio sites and the dark, electric-blue direction we picked.

  • 02

    Scroll storyboard and wireframes

    Every page planned section by section: what moves, when, and what the visitor reads.

  • 03

    Style guide

    Type, the black and blue palette, and the components every page shares.

  • 04

    3D objects

    Custom objects modelled in Spline and rendered live with Three.js.

  • 05

    Interactive modules

    HubSpot modules with 3D that moves on scroll, follows the cursor and answers every hover.

  • 06

    Page templates

    Landing, services and work, about and team, and contact with booking.

3D and motion, running in HubSpot

The 3D scenes, scroll motion and smooth scrolling all run inside HubSpot CMS, and every section is still an editable module.

Client reaction

We showed Axis Lab to prospects on live sales calls. This is what happened the first time the 3D started moving on their screen.
