Our eco impact

We are an eco-friendly web design and digital marketing agency

We are a company with a conscience. We keep our own impact low, plant 50 trees for every new client, host every website we build on renewable energy, and design sites that use less energy each time someone visits. Sustainability is part of the work, not a badge in the footer.

Our green policy

What we actually do as an eco-friendly agency

Plenty of agencies say they care about the environment. These are the eight things we commit to as an eco-friendly web design and digital marketing agency, and we have done them since 2021.

Plant 50 trees for every new clientEvery business that joins us adds fifty trees to a real forest, in your name.
Offset our carbon footprintWe measure what we use and fund certified projects to balance it out.
Build energy-efficient websitesLighter pages use less energy every time someone visits them.
Host only on green serversOur hosting runs on renewable energy, not the cheapest available power.
Fund climate projects worldwideFrom reforestation to clean water, chosen for real measured impact.
Buy low-carbon hardwareWe keep machines running as long as we can, buy refurbished where it makes sense, and choose carbon neutral models like the Mac mini when we do buy new.
No print servicesWe stopped offering print entirely rather than offset it.
Green energy in our officesOur own building runs on a renewable tariff.
What we are doing

How we help the planet

There are enough climate solutions available right now that, if they were all supported, we could undo thirty years of carbon damage by avoiding 1,500 billion tonnes of CO2. Here is the part we play as an eco-friendly web design agency in Essex.

01

Planting trees to offset carbon emissions

Planting trees is one of the most effective tools we have for keeping temperatures from rising above 1.5C, and for stopping ecological collapse. For every new client who works with us, fifty new trees go into the ground. You can see the forest growing in real time on our Ecologi profile.

02

A climate positive workforce

Our whole team is part of it, not just the business. Each of us works to keep our own footprint down and to support local and global projects. We go past reducing our impact: through tree planting, renewable energy and how we run day to day, we are helping to reverse it rather than just balance it.

03

Funding the projects that count

We support CO2 reduction projects with Gold Standard certification, so our money goes to the highest rated work and does the most good. We pick projects that cut emissions and support the people living alongside them, from reforestation through to clean energy and clean water.

04

Eco-friendly websites and hosting

Every site we design and host is built to be light. Efficient servers, less data moving around, and pages tuned to load fast all cut the energy a website uses on every visit. Our web design and green hosting work together, so an eco-friendly website keeps doing its bit long after launch.

Good questions

Eco-friendly web design FAQs

Cannot see yours? Ask us anything on a quick call, we will give you a straight answer.

What makes you an eco-friendly web design agency?

We plant 50 trees for every new client, host every website on renewable energy, and build sites that use less energy on each visit. We also offset our own footprint, buy low-carbon hardware and fund certified climate projects. Our Ecologi profile shows the trees and the carbon in real time, so you can check the numbers rather than take our word for it.

Does an eco-friendly website perform worse?

No, the opposite. The things that make a website greener are the same things that make it fast: smaller images, less code, fewer plugins and efficient hosting. A lighter site loads quicker, ranks better in search and converts more visitors, so the environmental win and the business win come from the same work.

What is green web hosting?

Green hosting runs on servers powered by renewable energy rather than the cheapest available electricity. Every site we host sits on renewable-powered infrastructure, and we tune each one so it moves less data, which cuts the energy used every time a page loads.

How many trees have you planted?

2,875 so far, and we have been climate positive for 40 months. Our target is 10,000. Every new client, client review and marketing campaign adds more, and the live count sits on our Ecologi profile.

Can you help my business become more eco-friendly online?

Yes. We can move your site to green hosting, cut the weight of your pages so they use less energy, and help you talk about your own environmental work honestly on your website. If you want the full picture, a strategy session is the place to start.

Where are you based?

We are in Southend-on-Sea in Essex, and we work with businesses across the UK and internationally. Being an eco-friendly digital marketing agency is part of how we work wherever our clients are.

Our mission

Our goal: 10,000 trees
