Overview.

From a coffee trike to a community café and CIC.

Grounded MCR began as a coffee trike and has grown into a community café and CIC in a shipping container at Cringle Park in Manchester. Their new website gives that story a warm, colourful online home, with a live Instagram feed, clear routes into the café, Future Baristas and community projects, and plenty of room for events and catering.

WordPress CMS: Easy-to-edit pages so the team can update menus, events and news themselves.
Live Instagram Feed: Fresh photos from the café appear on the site automatically.
Colourful Brand-Led Design: Sage green, blush pink and butter yellow bring the café’s personality online.
Clear Routes In: Simple navigation to the café, activities, catering and ways to get involved.
SEO Set-Up: Titles, descriptions and structure set up so local people can find Grounded MCR.

The Challenge.

Making a warm first impression online.

Grounded MCR does a lot: coffee, community activities, SEND sessions, catering and events. The website needed to welcome visitors, explain the bigger picture and make it easy to get involved, without losing the friendly, colourful personality that people recognise on site.

A Welcoming First Impression: A homepage that feels as friendly as the café itself.
Explaining the Bigger Picture: Showing how the café, Future Baristas and community projects fit together.
Easy to Get Involved: Clear ways to visit, volunteer, book catering or get in touch.
Supporting Catering and Events: Space to promote events and catering alongside everyday café life.

The Results.

A bright, welcoming home online.

The new website gives Grounded MCR a warm, colourful online home that reflects the café and the people behind it, with a live Instagram feed and clear paths to get involved. It is built on WordPress, so the team can keep it fresh as the project grows.
