Start with the problem.
Build what you actually need.
A simple business website and a complex application need different approaches. We agree the scope, costs and ongoing responsibilities before starting.
01 / BUSINESS WEBSITES
A better home for your business.
For local businesses that need a new website or a thoughtful refresh.
- Responsive pages with clear service information
- Enquiry, booking and contact journeys
- Basic search structure and performance
- Hosting and maintenance options, separately agreed
02 / CUSTOM WEB APPLICATIONS
Software shaped around your workflow.
For tasks that spreadsheets or disconnected tools make difficult.
- Customer and member portals
- Internal dashboards and workflow tools
- APIs and third-party integrations
- CMS and identity integration
03 / COMPLEX APPLICATIONS
A clear path through the technical choices.
For teams planning a larger build, modernisation or architecture review.
- C# and .NET application design
- Azure hosting and platform architecture
- Authentication and access design
- Performance, resilience and delivery practices

Personal project
Mobile Dog Grooming Directory
A UK directory build helping people find mobile dog groomers by location.
Orchard Core.NETSearch & SEOI worked on listing content, location-based search and map views, page structure and technical SEO. The project brings together structured data, useful discovery and a maintainable CMS.
What this demonstrates
Building a content-led web application, organising searchable business information, and connecting technical decisions to a visitor’s task. Booking and self-service listing claims were roadmap ideas, not features represented here as delivered.
Professional experience
Content platforms & identity
Application architecture across multi-site publishing, authentication and subscriptions.
C# / .NETCMSOIDCMy experience includes CMS modernisation, multi-tenant application delivery and identity/subscription integration. I connect application design, technical delivery and ongoing operation.
What this demonstrates
Designing around existing systems, making integration boundaries explicit and supporting delivery teams. This is an experience summary, not a claim that these employers are clients of my independent services.
Professional experience
Azure reliability & delivery
Practical cloud decisions that support production applications.
AzureFront Door / WAFCI/CDI have worked with Azure application hosting, edge security, caching, performance investigation, release practices and operational runbooks.
What this demonstrates
Considering security, performance, maintainability and support alongside the initial build. Project-specific metrics, private diagrams and client information are not included.
How we work
Useful conversations.
Clear decisions.
01Understand
We discuss the business problem, who will use the website or application, and what a useful first result looks like.
02Agree
You receive a clear scope covering deliverables, assumptions, costs and the responsibilities for hosting and support.
03Build & review
We work through agreed stages, review progress and prepare a practical handover. Larger applications begin with a scoped discovery phase.
About me
Senior experience.
Practical approach.
I’m Vikas Mahant. My career has grown from web development and hands-on .NET engineering into team leadership and technical architecture.
My strongest areas are C#, .NET, Azure, CMS platforms and integration. I care about a solution’s day-to-day usefulness as much as its technical design.
For local website work, the aim is a clear and manageable online presence. For custom software, the aim is a well-understood problem and a sensible path to delivery.
