Sustainable Web Design & Development
The internet is a huge polluter. In 2019 alone, it accounted for 3.7% of global emissions, which may not sound like a lot, but this is equivalent to the airline industry industry. This is because data-heavy websites need a lot of energy, which produces excess CO2 emissions.
Our web development methods have sustainability at the forefront; with a focus on sustainable hosting and low-footprint web design. We optimise every design we produce to reduce emissions from daily visitors.

services
The first stage of any website development project is design. Our design team will conceptualise a visual representation of your new website for your approval before any development work begins.
This involves setting up tracking tools such as Google Analytics and creating reports to measure the effectiveness of your website.
Once you have approved the visual representation of the new website, our development team can get work work programming the new site. We will build the new website on a ‘staging’ site, meaning it is offline until you are happy to push it live.
Whilst we do not directly offer website hosting, we can help you find the best hosting service for your business and manage the process for you.
This involves optimising the design and content of landing pages to improve their effectiveness in converting visitors into leads or customers.
