"Green" Websites

Whenever I tell someone that we build "Green" websites the next question from them is always, "what is a green website"? So my point of this blog is to explain what a green website is.

Everything that we do each day has an impact on our environment; whether it be eating, working, or visiting a website. When you visit a website it takes energy to run that website and if it's a site that is built with a lot of coding then it will take longer to load. When there is a longer loading time more CO2 is produced, thus making a large impact on our environment.

The solution to a large amount of CO2 production is to reduce the amount of coding on the backend of a website, thus reducing the loading time for a website. There are a few tools out there that will compute how much CO2 a website is producing.

So when we build or re-do a website we do so with the tools and knowledge of how to build an environmentally safe website. We hope that by building websites that are environmentally friendly, we can all do our part to help our earth!
