"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!

We are a Green Business!

What is a “Green” business may you ask? A “Green” business is a business that in conscience about the impact their everyday activities are having on the environment. It includes things as small as recycling paper, to as large as purchasing a “Green” printer. We have adopted “Green” policies that are listed on our website, http://www.morseassoc.net/. We have also reduced the amount of CO2 that our website produces as well as purchasing carbon certificates to offset any carbon that we do produce. We have a link on our website that will bring you to a resource that will show you what our carbon offset is.

Our biggest new change is that we now build “Green” websites! We build each website to produce the least amount of carbon as possible. This allows our customers to help the environment also, with no extra energy on their part. We hope that businesses who need a new website realize that they too can help the environment by allowing us to build them a website that will leave a smaller footprint on our world!

Revised AmericaOrders Site

We decided to revise the AmericaOrders site to make it look at little cleaner. The site now flows easier and is more friendly to the eyes. We hope that by making this revision, the hits to our site will finally translate to sign-ups and advertisments. Take a look at the revised site @ www.americaorders.com and let us know what you think!

Who are we?

We are a small Vermont company that started back in 2002. It started with Shawn Morse working part-time during his spare time. He was doing web design for other small Vermont companies. At the beginning of 2008 Joanna Adams, (me) joined the team. In September of this year, we were both laid off from our jobs and decided it was do-or-die, so we went full-time! Shawn worked for IBM for about 5 years and then moved to Vermont Systems for 3 years. He has several college courses in Website design along with many hours of self teaching. Joanna has a degree in Business along with having worked for Vermont Systems. We both bring to the table unique visions and collaborate closely with each other and our clients.
The two services we offer are website design and IT support. We have a great portfolio of web projects that we are proud to show off. We also have extensive knowledge in Recreational Software Support. We feel that parks and rec departments are vital to every community and feel honored to help as many rec departments that we can.
I think that is enough about us, but if you would like to know more, feel free to go to our website or send us an email: www.morseassoc.net
