The majority of this site has been coded in PHP. Some areas of the site rely on direct access to a database.

Viewing the source code of this site will show only HTML - a standard markup language. The functionality of database access is completed on the server and requires no help from the viewer, or from their browser. This means that the data access routines are as secure as possible.

The menu items at the top of the page are built on the server, this gives a clear indication of the current page and stops the user reloading the page by accident. Likewise, the menu at the bottom of the page is dynamically generated, showing the current page link as "inactive."

The screenshots on the right will take you to some demonstration pages, including a gallery of some of our photographic work. The Gallery module is available to all of our Hosting customers.

The website for the Mumbai Blue came out of a need to redesign the whole site, starting with a blank canvas. The site needed to reflect the cool blue of the restaurant interior and maintain a 'classy' look.

For this site we started from scratch and the project included redrawing the logo, onsite photography as well as the site design.
