It has a website carbon rating of A.
Only 0.07g of CO2 is produced every time someone visits that web page.
Note: This result is an approximation.
It also runs on sustainable energy.

I totally understand why this isn't on your radar yet.
You've put your heart into building a sustainable business.
You've made the hard choices, switched suppliers, invested in renewable energy, and restructured operations around your environmental values.
You're doing the work most businesses won't even consider.
Then someone mentions your website's carbon footprint and you think ... what?
We learn about renewable energy, waste reduction, and sustainable supply chains.
But digital sustainability?
It's barely on anyone's radar.
You're not missing something obvious.
This blind spot exists because the tech industry has kept quiet about its environmental impact for years.
We think of websites as intangible, clean-tech even.
The idea that they consume energy and generate emissions just isn't part of the mainstream sustainability conversation.
Your customers' first impression of your environmental values happens through your website. And if that first touchpoint doesn't align with everything else you've built, it creates a quiet disconnect.
You're already doing the hard work of building a truly sustainable business.
This is just one more piece of the puzzle. One that finally completes the picture.
This is what I've been researching and discovering recently in the digital sustainability space at Wee Media.
Most people's response?
The answer is a resounding yes!
- Every page load consumes energy from data centres worldwide.
- Heavy images and videos exponentially increase carbon emissions.
- Poor optimisation can make your site significantly more polluting than necessary.
- The internet has a substantial carbon footprint - comparable to major industries.
Sustainable web design isn't about sacrificing aesthetics or functionality.
The principles that make websites environmentally friendly also make them:
✅ Faster loading (better user experience).
✅ More accessible (inclusive design).
✅ Higher converting (optimised performance).
✅ Cost-effective (reduced hosting needs).
- Optimising images can dramatically cut emissions while maintaining visual quality.
- Clean, efficient code loads faster AND uses less energy.
- Green hosting can make your entire site carbon-neutral.
- Thoughtful design choices can reduce device energy consumption.
Your digital presence is an extension of your values, so why should it contradict your environmental consciousness?
"Beautiful design doesn't require environmental destruction."

Most small businesses don't realise that their website's carbon footprint extends well beyond their office walls. Every:

By helping businesses optimise their websites for sustainability, I'm creating a powerful synergy between:
Every optimised website represents more than improved performance metrics. It's a tangible contribution to:
When we align our digital presence with our environmental values, we transform everyday business operations into conservation actions. Each line of clean code and every compressed image becomes a small but meaningful step toward protecting the natural resources that make our region truly special.
Ready to make your website part of the conservation solution? Let's build digital experiences that honour both your business goals and our shared environmental responsibility.
I hereby announce that the Wee Media website is now open. 🎉
We're at a turning point in web design where sustainability isn't just nice-to-have, it's essential for any truly carbon-conscious business.
After weeks of thought, I'm putting the finishing touches on an additional resource that bridges this gap for business owners both within and outside the GSA Biosphere here in Scotland.
