Sustainable websites · our core service
Designed to perform, without the unnecessary weight.
We create clear, accessible and lower-carbon websites that help organisations communicate better and work more effectively online. Sustainability is not a layer added after the design. It shapes the choices we make about content, imagery, functionality, technology, hosting and what the website does not need.
The problem
A better website begins with fewer assumptions.
Many website projects begin with a list of pages and features inherited from the last site. We begin with questions. Who needs this website? What are they trying to do? Which content builds understanding? Which functionality earns its cost? What can be made simpler before a line of code is written?
The answers lead to a better brief, and usually a lighter one.
What we bring together
One controlled process, strategy to support.
-
Strategy and discovery
Audiences, goals, constraints and measures of success defined before options harden.
-
Content and architecture
What the website needs to say, how it is organised and what can be combined or removed.
-
User experience
Important journeys mapped and tested on representative screens.
-
Visual design
A distinctive interface grounded in the brand, accessible rather than trend-led.
-
Development
A robust, maintainable build with reusable components and careful integrations.
-
Accessibility
Designed towards WCAG 2.2 AA, with keyboard, contrast and form checks.
-
Performance
A performance budget set early, media optimised and third-party code limited.
-
Hosting and measurement
Credible renewable hosting where appropriate, with recorded performance and carbon estimates.
-
Training and support
Clear guidance and ongoing support so the team can maintain the result.
From first conversation to launch
Our approach.
-
Listen
Organisations, audiences, evidence, constraints and ambitions.
-
Simplify
Sitemaps, content priorities, journeys and a realistic scope.
-
Design
From low-fidelity journeys to a complete visual system.
-
Build
Templates, components, efficient media and integrations.
-
Measure
Speed, accessibility and carbon estimates, with results recorded.
-
Improve
Training, support and a grounded plan for future releases.
Practicalities
A clear shape for the work.
-
Typical timeline
A website project takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on scope, content readiness and feedback speed.
-
Investment
Projects start at €8,000 plus VAT. The proposal makes clear what is included and what depends on third parties.
-
Normally included
Discovery, sitemap and content planning, responsive visual design, a reusable design system, development and CMS setup, launch support and recorded baseline measures.
Build what matters. Leave out what does not.
Tell us what the website needs to achieve and what is making the current experience difficult. We will help turn that into a clear brief.
