High-school web designer · open for projects
Hey, I'm Ishan Khandekar — a 16-year-old who's fluent in all the latest web tools and uses them to craft premium, one-of-a-kind sites. So your website actually looks like you, not like ten thousand other sites on the internet.
↳ yep, that word keeps changing
It started in my 9th-grade computer science class. The first time a page I wrote actually showed up in a browser, something just clicked — I could make things that lived on the internet.
Not long after, my uncle — a professor at IIT, one of India's top engineering institutes — needed a portfolio site for his academic work. I built it for him, start to finish. Watching something I made represent someone I care about, out in the real world, is what turned a class assignment into the thing I can't stop doing.
I'm a junior now, so I'm balancing real client work with school — which honestly makes me faster and more organized, not slower. And I'm still just getting started.
Always making something — the same eye for rhythm and color goes straight into my designs.
Taking things apart taught me how good design actually works underneath.
Real and open slots — every one a premium, custom build, made with the latest tools and shaped around the person or brand behind it.
A full academic portfolio for my uncle, a professor at IIT: research, publications, mentorship and contact. My first real project — and the one that got me hooked. Now live on the web.

Fair question — template builders are everywhere. Here's the honest difference between dragging blocks into someone else's template and having a premium site built for you with the best tools out there.
A website isn't just information on a screen — it's a first impression, a feeling. Every color, font, spacing choice and little animation is quietly telling visitors who you are. A template can't know what your brand stands for. I take the time to actually understand your core values — what you care about, who you're for, how you want people to feel — and then design every detail to communicate exactly that. That's the part a drag-and-drop builder will never do for you.
Every site is custom, so the price follows the scope of the work. Here's where each kind of project generally starts.

Online stores are their own thing — Shopify setup, product catalog, payments — and the scope swings too widely to fit a tier. Tell me what you're selling and I'll put together a custom quote.
