7 reasons sustainable web design is great for your business and the planet too !
August 19th 2024
Harsh Truth: The internet contributes to about 1 billion tons of greenhouse gases every year and your website, like all others, adds to this impact.
Good news: You can make your website go green and by doing this, not only do you help the planet but your business as well!
Here are 7 ways how both your business and the planet benefit from your website going green:
7. Your customers have a much higher chance of finding you! Sustainable web design means faster-loading pages, which Google and other search engines love – improving your chances to rank higher in search result pages when your potential customers are looking for solutions to their pain points.
6. Your customers are more likely to stay to learn more about your brand or buy your products. Here’s why - a sustainable website is fast and responsive – offering a much better user experience when they land on your website.
5. You improve accessibility for your mobile users. A substantial amount of all traffic today is mobile and sustainable design equals faster loading pages for mobile traffic as well.
4. Adopting green practices like low-carbon web design can boost your brand’s reputation as a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious company. This not only appeals to eco-minded consumers but also positions your business as a leader in sustainability.
3. You significantly reduce your brand’s digital carbon footprint. With every page load, your website generates 1.76 grams of CO2 on average. While this may not seem alarmingly high, imagine a page loading 1000 times a year – this translates to 20 kgs of CO2. By optimizing your website, you can significantly reduce this carbon output.
2. To add to sustainable web design, green hosting further minimizes the environmental impact of your online presence, aligning your business with global sustainability efforts – making for a better tomorrow for all of us.
1. Cutting down on energy consumption also helps lower your operational costs.

These are just a few of the many reasons we encourage you to think about sustainable web design for your brand.
