The Larder is a cosy coffee shop and deli located on Mill’s Road. They serve coffee and tea as well as fresh and delicious food – all locally sourced. The shop is also stocked with items such as loose leaf tea, chutneys, and works from local artists. Urban Larder is an entirely local affair, from the food it sells to the local artists it supports. Plus their coffee is supplied by Butterworth and Son in Bury St Edmunds, who roast only ethically sourced beans.
One of Cambridge’s proud indies, this little neighbourhood café has made a virtue out of a slightly shabby interior, with mismatched chairs and homemade wares plugging into the retro trend. The gregarious owner dishes out advice on the best places for cocktails nearby, whilst brewing up surprisingly decent coffee
Duncan reached out to Beyond Web to work with them to develop a reasonably simple yet contemporary and distinctive business website. They needed a cost-efficient solution as budget was naturally a consideration and the site needed the possibility to be enhanced in the future. The website needed to provide an overview of information on the business and connect local people to their services.
The Beyond Web team worked closely with Urban Larder to develop a professional and premium website that would represent the quality of their business, giving them a unique and confident presence. Beyond Web utilised the flexibility of the WordPress CMS platform to develop a website that can be easily maintained and upgraded. The end result was a high quality website that can be easily expanded in the future and was optimised for conversion.
