Website Carbon

Our new website is “cleaner than 89% of all web pages globally“, according to websitecarbon.com.

While many businesses focus on reducing their carbon footprints in tangible ways, the environmental impact of a website is often overlooked. Recognising this, we prioritised minimising our footprint during the redesign process.

With the guidance of green hosting experts Erjjio, we’ve crafted a website that authentically represents our values while sidestepping excessive design elements that inflate its size. Combined with the site now being powered by 100% renewable energy, this approach has significantly enhanced our carbon rating from an F to an A.

After slashing our website carbon emissions by 90%, we have earned the right to display our certification as a Green website. This milestone highlights our commitment to putting sustainability first, and we would like to thank the Erjjio Team for their knowledge and expertise. We couldn’t be happier with the final result!
