Neville college website

Back when most student websites were boring resumes, Neville Medhora made something personal and fun. His old site looked like a tablet PC (meta!), included a Texas Longhorn logo, and even told visitors how to use the navigation bar.

Marketing analysis

Neville wasn’t just showing his work—he was showing who he was. The tone felt like a conversation, not a pitch. The design showed creativity. The instructions made it easy to use. It screamed confidence without needing fancy features.

Why it works
