Senior ASP.NET Web Forms Developer for Technical Audit & Ongoing Website Maintenance

### Senior ASP.NET Web Forms Developer – Technical Audit & Ongoing Website Maintenance # About the Project I own an established Australian digital publishing platform built on a mature ASP.NET Web Forms application using C#, .NET Framework, Microsoft SQL Server and IIS. I'm looking for an experienced ASP.NET Web Forms developer to become my long-term technical partner. The initial engagement is a paid technical audit, with ongoing maintenance and development work available for the right person. # Initial Scope of Work The successful developer will: * Review the existing ASP.NET Web Forms application. * Become familiar with the overall application architecture. * Review the database structure and application configuration. * Review the deployment environment and general system architecture. * Audit search engine indexing and technical SEO. * Review advertising and monetisation implementation. * Review sitemap and robots.txt configuration. * Identify performance improvements. * Review security and general best practices. * Produce a prioritised report with recommendations. Following the audit, I expect ongoing work implementing agreed improvements, maintaining the platform and developing new functionality over time. # Required Experience Please only apply if you have strong commercial experience with: * ASP.NET Web Forms * C# * .NET Framework * Microsoft SQL Server * Microsoft IIS Experience with technical SEO, large content websites and long-term maintenance of established applications will be highly regarded. # The Type of Developer I'm Looking For I'm looking for someone who enjoys understanding and improving existing systems rather than immediately recommending a complete rebuild. Clear communication is very important. I value developers who can explain technical concepts in plain English, document their work and provide practical recommendations. I'm hoping to establish a long-term working relationship with someone who takes pride in producing high-quality, maintainable solutions. # Please Include the Following in Your Proposal 1. How many ASP.NET Web Forms applications do you currently maintain? 2. Have you worked on established custom-built publishing or content management systems? 3. What would be the first three technical areas you would investigate when taking over an existing ASP.NET Web Forms application? 4. Please provide examples of similar maintenance, optimisation or technical audit projects you have completed. 5. Why do you think you would be a good fit for this project?
