Personal Website for Sanjeev Sanyal

A full redesign and rebuild of Sanjeev Sanyal's personal website, built around clarity, restraint, and long-term sustainability rather than visual novelty.

Content Architecture & Migration

The project began with a complete migration of hundreds of CMS entries — years of accumulated articles, essays, and archival writing — into a more robust, future-proof content structure. Preserving that body of work while making it easier to maintain and extend going forward was the foundation the rest of the site was built on.

Books Section

A dedicated books section was designed and built around a custom book component, bringing together decades of published work into a single, cohesive archive. Rather than treating each title as an isolated entry, the component was built to let readers move naturally between works, giving the collection a sense of continuity rather than a flat list.

Design Approach

Throughout, the priority was restraint over complexity. Every decision was weighed against a simple question: does this help the writing, or does it compete with it? The result is a site that feels fast, intuitive, and unobtrusive — one that gets out of the way so a substantial body of work becomes easy to discover and explore, rather than a design exercise layered on top of it.
