Energy | Green web hosting

Even though the each individual website has a minute carbon footprint, the overall greenhouse gas emissions of the internet are comparable to the global airline industry. This is due to the vast scale of the World Wide Web. It's with this in mind, that websites designed and hosted with us are stored on servers that run on 100% renewable power. With absolutely no compromise on perfomance: our powerful, reliable, and sustainable data cantres are powered by 100% renewable energy.

Our partners have data centres in the UK and US, allowing us to offer an eco-friendly green hosting solution to all. Our hosting partners provide the fastest hosting available, replacing their hardware - as more efficient technology becomes available.

Central to this offering is our world-class, energy-efficient autoscaling hosting platform. This ensures that when a website becomes busy, it's automatically allocated multiple servers and the resources of our entire platform. The converse of this is also true. when a particular website is less busy, it will take up fewer resources. This leads to less electricity, RAM, cooling tech, and fewer processors used, ultimately reducing harmful global emissions.

In short, our web hosting, data centre cooling and network, are all powered by 100% renewable energy.

Paper

Where possible, we operate a paperless policy. All quotes and invoices are sent electronically (over email,) in PDF format, to eliminate waste and reduce the need for printing and the reliance on paper. All paper / cardboard packaging - that does get used - is recycled. Ask us about electronic email / MailChimp campaigns for your marketing, rather than sending out masses of paper literature.

Travel

Every effort is made for meetings to be attended using public transport, after initial meetings: much can be conducted over the phone and/or email. Web Designers often need to be with a device at hand - this can prove difficult when driving and sat in traffic!

Transport / Deliveries

Every effort is made to use local courier services, and combine deliveries, to reduce carbon footprint.

Local Business

If we're discussing your Web Design project over coffee: let's support a local independent, rather than a multinational.
