SELECTED WORK

The problem, what I built, and what changed.

Padhum LMS project screenshot
Problem
Padhum needed a complete online learning platform, with courses, payments, mock tests and live classes, and had no team to build it.
Result
One developer delivered the whole platform. It runs in production at lms.padhum.com.
  • React
  • Vite
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Express.js
  • MongoDB
ClampHook Mobile App project screenshot
Problem
ClampHook's app was hard to use, short on features, and not yet on iOS.
Result
Live on the App Store with a new design, push notifications, and a streak system that measurably improved retention. The app got smaller too.
  • Flutter
  • Firebase
  • CI/CD
ClampHook Entrance Preparation project screenshot
Problem
ClampHook's entrance preparation platform needed to load faster, rank higher and take payments safely, with one developer running all of IT.
Result
Better Core Web Vitals and organic search performance, a critical payment security gap closed, and video streaming locked down with signed, encrypted URLs.
  • Next.js
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
CareerPana project screenshot
Problem
Students in Nepal had no single place to find and compare colleges.
Result
Built solo, from database to interface. Live at careerpana.com.
  • React
  • Vite
  • MongoDB
  • Express.js
SEVAK App project screenshot
Problem
A new gig platform for Nepal needed a mobile app and the backend to run it.
Result
App and API delivered together by one developer, so they were built against one data model from day one.
  • Flutter
  • MongoDB
  • Express.js
Start — New Tab Extension project screenshot
Problem
Most new tab extensions are slow, want an account, and track what you do.
Result
Open source on GitHub. No accounts, no tracking, and nothing leaves the browser.
  • Browser Extension
  • JavaScript
  • HTML
  • CSS

ABOUT

I'm Nishant, a full-stack developer who builds the whole product: the website or app, the backend behind it, and the SEO and speed work that gets it found. Small businesses hire me because one person owns the build from first call to launch, and stays for the fixes after.

How I work

  • You talk to the person building it

    No account managers, no hand-offs. Your questions come straight to me.

  • Scope and dates agreed first

    You know what you're getting and when, before any code is written.

  • Progress you can click

    You review a working preview while it's built, so changes happen early, not after launch.

QUESTIONS

What clients in Nepal and abroad ask before hiring a web developer. Something missing? Email or WhatsApp me and I'll answer it.

How much does a website cost in Nepal?

It depends on what the site has to do. A simple business website, a platform with payments and an admin panel, and a mobile app are very different jobs. Tell me what you need and I'll send a written quote, so you know the price and the dates before anything starts.

Read the pricing guide
How do I choose a web developer in Nepal?

Ask for live projects you can open, not just screenshots. Ask who will actually do the work, what the price includes (mobile design, speed, SEO setup, handover), and who fixes things after launch. You can open my live projects, including Padhum LMS, CareerPana and ClampHook, and judge the work yourself.

Will my website show up on Google?

I build in everything Google looks for: fast pages, mobile design, clean structure, structured data and a sitemap. No one can honestly guarantee a number-one ranking, because it also depends on your competition and the content you publish. I make sure your site is technically ready to compete.

How I approach SEO
Do you build mobile apps for both iPhone and Android?

Yes. I build Flutter apps from a single codebase that runs on both iOS and Android, with the backend built to match. I've published apps to the App Store, and I can take an existing app over and improve it.

Flutter app development
Do you work with clients outside Nepal?

Yes. I'm based in Kathmandu and work with clients in Nepal and abroad. We talk by video call, WhatsApp or email, and you can review a working preview online while I build.

How long does a project take?

A focused business website usually takes a few weeks. Web apps, learning platforms and mobile apps take longer because there's more to build and test. Either way, you get a timeline in writing before I start.

Can I create a totally free website instead?

You can, and a free builder is fine for testing an idea. The limits show up later: little control over speed and SEO, the builder's branding or subdomain, and a painful move away if you outgrow it. If customers finding you on Google matters, a proper site pays off.

Free builder or custom site?
How do I get started?

Send me a few lines about what you need, by email or WhatsApp. I usually reply within a few hours with questions and a rough plan, and a written quote follows once we've agreed the scope.
