This site needed to invoke a feeling of quality and present food in a wholesome and interesting way. The client wanted
to be able to update information and collect customer comments. An active site with admin features was created using
ASP.NET and an SQL Server backend database. Javascript was required for the Windows Live Maps functionality on the location
page, though a simple static location map is provided on browsers with JavaScript turned off.

This site fulfils two purposes. It is there to provide a marketing presence but also to give information
for current customers. The look and feel was important. The information should be easy to access,
but the warm, play-focused feel of the nursery should come through in the page design. This was
achieved by
building the page around a colourful wooden block theme, but the page degrades nicely with images and/or
style sheets disabled.

The John O'Groats to Land's End cycle ride 2007 website is a simple ASP.NET application with mainly static pages,
but allowing remote entry of pictures, which were updated as the ride progressed. The Picture Gallery page uses AJAX to
allow smooth image replacement when a new image is selected, although it reverts gracefully to a full page refresh when
JavaScript is turned off in the browser. The site was required at short notice and was based on an initial template from the
Microsoft® Expression® Web authoring tool.

A product showcase for a new Location Based Service, this site uses AJAX in the user interface to provide a high-tech interface,
though the page degrades gracefully for users without JavaScript. The site features user authentication and customer feedback while
protecting the site from attack by spambots.
