Sandra owns a small coffee shop in her local town. She wants to expand her customer base by reaching people online. She needs a website that shows her menu, location, hours of operation, and allows customers to place orders online. She has no technical background but wants the website to be user-friendly and easy to update.
Task:
As a student in the WordPress development course, your job is to create a simple, user-friendly website for Sandra’s coffee shop. The website should include:- A home page that highlights the shop’s brand, featuring an image slider of coffee products.
- An “About Us” page explaining the story of the shop.
- A “Menu” page showcasing the products with descriptions and prices.
- An “Order Now” button that links to an order form or an external food delivery service.
- A “Contact Us” page with the shop’s location on Google Maps, hours of operation, and a simple contact form.
Solution:
Build a basic WordPress site with a theme suitable for small businesses (e.g., using the “Astra” theme). Use plugins like WooCommerce for online orders or integrate with a third-party delivery service. Use “Google Maps Widget” for location integration and “WPForms” for a simple contact form.Reflection:
Explain how you solved challenges like adding the order system and optimizing the website for mobile users, since most customers will be ordering through their phones.
