Services

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

A focused website, with a clear launch plan.

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

Start with discovery and a scoped first version.

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

Architecture and phased delivery, quoted to scope.

Portfolio & experience

Work grounded in real applications.

A personal project and selected areas of professional experience. Employer work is described in general terms without confidential material.

Personal project

Mobile Dog Grooming Directory

A UK directory build helping people find mobile dog groomers by location.

Orchard Core.NETSearch & SEO

I 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# / .NETCMSOIDC

My 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/CD

I 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.

01

Understand

We discuss the business problem, who will use the website or application, and what a useful first result looks like.

02

Agree

You receive a clear scope covering deliverables, assumptions, costs and the responsibilities for hosting and support.

03

Build & 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.
