WebGL / GLSL Shader Developer Needed. Animated Hero Gradient for WordPress Theme
Worldwide
We're building a custom WordPress website and need a creative developer to implement an animated, flowing gradient for the hero section, matching a provided design reference exactly. **What we need** The hero background features a sculpted, painterly gradient with distinct color zones (deep navy, coral/orange, pink/purple) that flow organically across the screen. We need this implemented as a WebGL/GLSL shader or Three.js canvas that: - Matches the provided design reference pixel-accurately in terms of color, shape, and feel - Animates fluidly and naturally on its own (ambient flow) - Optionally responds subtly to cursor/mouse movement - Is optimized for performance (no jank, low GPU impact) - Works across all modern browsers and degrades gracefully on mobile **Deliverables** - Self-contained HTML/CSS/JS file (or WordPress-ready enqueue-able scripts) - Clean, commented code we can drop into a custom theme - Brief handoff notes explaining how to adjust colors or animation speed **Tech requirements** - WebGL / GLSL shaders or Three.js - Vanilla JS preferred (no heavy frameworks) - Must work as a WordPress-compatible asset **Project scope** This is a fixed-scope, single deliverable, hero section only. We're not looking for a full theme developer. **To apply** Please include examples of similar gradient/shader work in your proposal. Links to live sites or CodePen/GitHub demos are strongly preferred. Generic proposals without portfolio examples will not be considered.
