Launching Our Website
Launching our website marked an important step in expanding our business beyond in-person sales. It helped us reach a wider audience both within and outside the school, making our brand more accessible. As a team, we brainstormed ideas for the structure and content of our website to make it clear and easy for users.

Creating an Order Form
Developing our own order form (on Microsoft Forms) helped us manage purchases more efficiently and stay organised. It also allowed us to promote our business to both students and teachers throughout the school. This improved how we communicated with customers and made the overall ordering process feel more structured and professional.

First Online order
We are very grateful to the student who placed our first online order. This reassured us that we could successfully grow our business beyond solely in-person sales.
