Paramjit's Kitchen
The website for an Indian, German and Thai restaurant in Revelstoke. Hosted on my Helsinki server, with a notice board the owner edits without calling me.

Problem
The restaurant needed a site that shows the real menu and photos, works well on a phone, and lets the owner post a closure or a special without going through me.
What I built
- A hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript site: a menu with search and dietary filters, a photo gallery, night mode, WebP images and a printable menu.
- A small notice-board editor behind Basic Auth. It checks CSRF, sends a content security policy with a nonce, is rate limited in nginx and writes an audit line for every save.
- Hosting on my Helsinki server rather than Bangalore, because in my tests each asset reached Canadian visitors about 1.2 seconds sooner.
- Security headers, HSTS, and cache rules where pages always revalidate and images and fonts cache for seven days.
