Websites That Don’t Cost The Earth
Why Your Website’s Footprint Matters
Why Your Website’s Footprint Matters
It’s easy to forget that websites live on real servers, plugged into real sockets, using real electricity.
The average webpage gives off around 0.36 grams of CO₂ every time someone loads it. Multiply that by all your visitors, and the impact grows quickly.
But there’s a brighter side. By trimming down unnecessary plugins, compressing images and choosing efficient hosting, you can halve your site’s emissions and make it noticeably quicker too.
A lighter website means:
- Happier visitors
- Lower energy use
- A smoother experience
What I Do
What I Do
At Wee Media, I design and rebuild websites with care, not just for pixels and layouts, but for the planet and the people using them.
Maybe you’ve built your own site and it’s starting to creak, or perhaps you’re launching your first business and want to start on the right foot.
Either way, I’ll help you create something that feels professional, performs beautifully, and keeps your carbon footprint small.
Every project is a collaboration: I’ll guide you through the options, explain what really matters, and make sure you understand where your money’s going.
Benefits For Your Business
Benefits For Your Business
When your website runs efficiently, everything improves.
- Speed: Quick pages keep people browsing longer.
- SEO: Search engines reward fast, well-built sites.
- Sustainability: You can proudly say your business walks the talk.
- Trust: Visitors appreciate clear, honest design.
- Local impact: You’re part of a movement within the Biosphere for responsible business.
In short, a low-carbon site isn’t just good for the planet. It’s good for your bottom line, too.
How It Works

No confusing jargon, no hidden extras. Just clear steps.
Audit: I review your current site (or your idea) and run a simple report on speed and carbon use.
Optimise & Design: Together we plan improvements. Maybe a new layout, smaller image files, or greener hosting.
Build & Launch: I rebuild or refine your site, making sure it’s efficient, secure and easy to manage.
Monitor: After launch, I’ll check your site’s performance and help you keep it light over time.
