Sustainable Website Design
Planet-friendly Websites with Less Carbon Emissions
A planet-friendly website is designed to reduce carbon emissions when a loaded on the web. Achieving this requires considering multiple factors, including user experience, media weight, and hosting.
I specialise in building low-carbon websites to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a greener web. I use WordPress, a flexible content management system that allows me to create fast, functional websites for charities, social enterprises, and local small businesses (including online shops).
To be more sustainable I create a theme shaped around your requirements and branding: a unique website design tailored around you. See the website planning process step by step.
Technical Features
Custom Design
Each website is built with a unique layout, colour palette, carefully selected fonts, and an intuitive user experience. Media is optimised for the website, and it is fully responsive for mobile and tablet users.
Green hosting and domain
I prioritise green hosting providers (where your website is stored) and integrate a content delivery network to reduce energy consumption and improve speed. I also assist with selecting and purchasing your domain name (website name).
Security
To protect your site, I implement multiple security layers, including malware monitoring, firewalls, and other protective measures to prevent cyber attacks.
Speed, Search Engine Optimisation and Analytics
My websites are optimised for speed and search engine visibility. I can implement SEO best practices for web and social media, and if needed, I can connect Google Analytics 4 or Google Tag Manager to track your website’s performance.
Backups
I offer a backup service to ensure you always have the latest version of your website available when needed.
Website delivery, Training and Maintenance
If you already have a website
I can provide sustainability audit reports: comprehensive reviews of your website to identify areas for improvement, helping you create a greener online presence.
Website delivery
Once your website is completed, I include 30 days of free support and maintenance. After that, you can choose from various maintenance plans to keep your site running smoothly.
Other languages
I am fluent in English, Italian, and Spanish, so if you prefer to communicate in any of these languages, or have a website or a project in any of them, I’m happy to talk about it.
Training
Additionally, I can provide 1-2-1 training on how to write posts, update page content, upload images, and more.
