Project title

A simple website for a local bakery

What will you build?

A one-page website showing the bakery's menu, hours, and location, with a contact form for custom orders.

What problem does it solve?

The bakery relies on foot traffic and word of mouth. New customers can't find the menu or hours online.

Who will use or benefit from it?

The bakery owner and new walk-in customers.

Tools and technology

A website builder, basic copywriting, a phone for photos.

Intended impact

More customers can find the bakery and place orders; the owner has a simple site they can update.

Who can help or give you feedback?

The bakery owner (client), a mentor for review.

Milestones and progress updates

Week 1: gather menu and photos. Week 4: first draft live. Week 8: contact form working and reviewed.

Feedback and changes

Mentor suggested clearer hours and a larger contact button; owner wanted a photo of the storefront.

Final work summary

A one-page site with menu, hours, location, and a contact form, reviewed and launched.

Who used it, and what did you learn?

The owner reported a few custom-order inquiries in the first month. Next step: add online ordering.
