The freelance years begin
An early portfolio introduces a teenage designer already working on MakeUseOf.
The surviving homepage opens with “Hello, I’m Namanyay Goel” and describes a freelance designer and front-end developer. Its work section includes MakeUseOf, MakeUseOf TV, a music website and Webstiles.
There is already a considered client process: ask questions, make a first draft, gather feedback, then deliver the finished site. Webstiles appears both as a project and as a tool used during that process.
The page’s HTML survives, but its linked stylesheet and project thumbnails were not found. The excerpt below is presented as an archival transcription, rather than a reconstruction of the missing design.
