Immersive Universe Visualization Website

I’m putting together a visually-driven website that lets visitors journey through galaxies, stars, and black holes as if they were floating in space themselves. The emphasis is on spectacle rather than long blocks of text, so smooth animations, rich imagery, and interactive elements are essential. When a user scrolls or clicks, I want nebulae to unfold, black-hole accretion disks to glow, and stellar nurseries to reveal their depth—something that feels closer to a planetarium show than a traditional educational site.

Here’s what I need from you: a fully developed, responsive site that opens with an engaging hero scene, guides the visitor through the cosmic structures mentioned above, and wraps everything in a lightweight UI that never distracts from the view. WebGL, Three.js, or similar frameworks are welcome if they keep performance high across modern browsers and mobile. I will supply copy snippets and a basic color palette; you weave them into the visual flow, handle all coding, and optimise images or shaders so the experience stays smooth.

Acceptance criteria
• Homepage loads in under 3 seconds on a standard 4G connection
• Interactive sequences for galaxies, stars, and black holes function without visible frame drops on desktop and current-gen mobile
• All visuals render correctly in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
• Source files, instructions for deployment, and a brief walkthrough video delivered on hand-off

If you have a portfolio piece that already showcases space-themed WebGL work or cinematic UI, point me to it—I’d love to see it before we start.
