I finally modified the new website I was working on for DARPA Engineering. I wanted this one to feel different from the usual manufacturing websites. Instead of adding too many effects and making it look futuristic, I tried to keep it clean, industrial and focused on the actual work. I rebuilt the site around the three main areas — Stampings, Non-ferrous Castings and Tooling. I also added sections for the stamping process, robotics/welding, product gallery, casting details and an interactive tooling section. A lot of the content and images are based on the actual company information and products. I spent quite a bit of time making the small interactions work properly instead of just making them look good in a screenshot. I also tested the mobile layout, different screen sizes, keyboard interactions and reduced-motion behavior. After all that, I finally pushed it to GitHub and deployed it with GitHub Pages.

I worked on a new website for DARPA Engineering in Hosur. The main goal was to present the company and its engineering work in a much more modern way instead of having a basic company website.

I worked on the layout, sections, images, service information and overall design. I wanted the site to feel professional but still have some of my own design style in it.

One of the challenging parts was figuring out how to organise a lot of company information without making the website feel too crowded. Getting the different sections to look good together also took quite a bit of testing.

I’m proud of how the final website brings the manufacturing side of DARPA Engineering together with a more modern web design.

People can test it by going through the different sections of the website, checking the services and company information, and trying the contact section.

I worked on the new version of the DARPA Engineering website.
I already had an older version of the site, but instead of completely throwing it away, I decided to keep that one as a backup and rebuild the project from the existing code.
This time I wanted the website to feel more like an actual engineering company website and less like a normal template.
I worked on the overall layout, hero section, manufacturing capabilities, company section, services, process, industries, gallery, testimonials, articles, FAQ and the contact section.
I’m also trying to add more animation and interaction, but I’m being careful with it. I don’t want every section moving just for the sake of animation. The idea is to make the website feel premium while still keeping it professional and easy to use.
One thing I found during the rebuild was that the old website had quite a few things that needed fixing, especially around performance, accessibility, deployment and some of the content.
The current version is looking much closer to what I had in mind.
There is still a lot to improve — especially the animations, mobile version, performance and final polishing.
I’ll keep working on it and hopefully get the final version deployed soon.
Day by day, the website is getting closer to what I actually imagined.
