The lawn and yard one-pager

Use with: build-website. Resume line when done: Launched a neighborhood lawn and yard service — one-page site, printed flyer, {n} customers

Brief

One page that says what yard work you do, which streets you cover, what it costs, and how to text you. The same URL goes on a printed flyer you deliver by hand to houses within walking distance. Money changes hands in person, between you and the neighbor; the site never takes a payment.

Personalize

• The jobs. Only work you have done before with equipment you can use: mowing, raking, weeding, snow shoveling if it snows where you live. If you have never edged a lawn, edging does not go on the page.
• The streets. The ones you can walk to carrying a rake. Name them, so a neighbor two blocks over knows they count.
• The prices. Per job, set by asking one adult who pays for this kind of work what a fair price is. You will be the one sweating, so make sure the number is one you will still be happy with an hour in.
• The contact. A phone number or form your parents have okayed.

Milestones

1. Page live at a URL on day one: jobs, streets, prices, contact.
2. Prices checked with an adult who has paid for yard work, then adjusted.
3. Flyer made with the URL and a QR code, printed at home or the library.
4. Flyers delivered by mid-week to at least 20 houses. Tape them to doors; in many places mailboxes are reserved for postal mail.
5. First inquiry answered the same day, and logged.
6. Final README: what people asked for, what got booked, what you would change.
