SXLVX · Branding & Webflow Studio, Ulm
sxlvx.de
SXLVX is the one-person studio of Salvatore "Salvo" Lavaccara in Blaustein near Ulm, Germany. It covers branding, Webflow web design and film for clients in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The studio site follows its own process, strategy first, then design, then code: a felt-textured green hero with the line "Nobody is looking for you. Not yet.", a horizontal scroll story told in sticker typography, project cards for TiLa, Knupfer Metallbau and SV Markbronn, and a WebGL chrome sparrow, the symbol of Ulm. Built in Webflow with GSAP, ScrollTrigger, SplitText and Lenis.

Qiaflo City 3D: The Interactive Pet Rescue Simulation The Qiaflo 3D website is a gamified simulation of an urban environment designed to visually demonstrate how the Qiaflo mobile app works. While the App uses real Bluetooth (BLE) signals and smartphones to act as radar nodes to track lost pets, the 3D Website simulates this digitally. Visitors play a mini-game to rescue a pet, experiencing firsthand how a connected community can trace a lost pet's signal. It's an interactive campaign: play the virtual simulation online, then download the app to rescue real pets.

RXN: The Room Where Websites Get Written
rxnwebsolutions.com
A studio's site built on one idea: websites should be written, not assembled. You open it inside a real-time 3D room, modelled in Blender and rendered with Three.js. Scroll, and a plotter on the desk writes the Services section, then hands it to the real page. The light follows the actual time of day in Stara Pazova, Serbia, the wall clock keeps it, and the coffee on the desk still steams. Contact opens the blinds, About lets the evening fall, Projects walks a wall of full-page proofs. A hand-written WordPress theme, no page builder, in Serbian and English.

Fabio Bahiense Photography
fabiobahiense.com
Website of luxury and destination wedding photographer Fabio Bahiense, based in Orlando, Florida. As you scroll, a hand-drawn stick-figure photographer travels between sections by hang glider, zipline, tightrope and parachute. He flies into the lens of a scroll-driven camera scene that puts the visitor in the photographer's point of view. The camera is Fabio's own, photographed by him to build the animation. In the phone section he shoots each frame, turning it from blurred black and white into sharp, full color. It ends with him photographing the couple. In English, Portuguese and Spanish.
The Herne Group
THE HERNE GROUP
Nov 1, 2026
The Herne Group
herneuk.com/
A bespoke WordPress site for a Wigan consultancy that delivers major projects across nuclear, defence, energy and infrastructure. The site opens on a full-screen film of the sites Herne works on, with the logo sitting bottom-left until it slides into the header as you scroll. All imagery is greyscale with selective colour picking out one detail per photo, so the brass accent and the work stand out together. Layered parallax, section rules that draw themselves in as you read, and a clean light theme throughout. Built from scratch, no page builder.

New Horizon IT
NEW HORIZON IT
Oct 29, 2026
New Horizon IT
newhorizon-it.co.uk/
A bespoke WordPress site for a Gloucestershire business IT partner. It opens with no header: the logo sits large in the corner of a full-bleed hero and docks into the nav as you scroll, while the hero shrinks into a card beneath it. Bento cards fly in from every side, a pinned section draws hairline routes across a planet to show how far the support reaches, and the services panel pins while you read. A white Apple-style page, dark image cards with glass panels, and a single volt accent. Built from scratch, no page builder.
