Build, Pitch & Monetize a Real Local Business Website
🔥 Why This Task Is Different (Read This First)
Most internships ask you to build imaginary apps for imaginary companies.
This task does the opposite.
Here, you will:
- Build a real website for a real local business
- Pitch it to the owner
- Learn how developers actually get paid for websites
This is how freelancers, agencies, and solo developers start earning in the real world.
🎯 Objective
Your goal is to build a professional website for a local business and present it as a live project that helps the business:
- look more professional
- attract customers
- increase trust
- grow online
You can choose any business you like, such as:
- Restaurant or café
- Gym or fitness center
- Salon or spa
- Boutique or clothing store
- Clinic or medical shop
- Pub, bakery, or local brand
Pick a business you genuinely like or visit often.
This makes the project more personal and convincing.
✅ What You’ll Do (Step-by-Step)
- Choose a Local Business
- Near your home
- Your favorite café or gym

- Design & Build a Website
- Home page
- Services / menu / offerings
- About section
- Contact & location
- Prepare a Simple Pitch
- Explain how the website helps the business
- Focus on benefits, not technical terms
