A climate positive web designer
I'm a freelance web designer that puts sustainability first. If you're looking to launch an ethical or sustainable site I can help!
Climate Positive Web Design
You may not think that browsing the internet would contribute to climate change, but actually the internet emits massive amounts of CO2 every year (around 4% of global emmisions). That's the same amount produced by the airline industry and this figure is expected to double by 2025. I can help you by making sure that your web design project is a climate neutral / positive as possible.

Changes to the business
I've lowered my carbon emissions as much as possible, using renewables to power my business, driving an EV and cycling wherever possible. The small amount of emisions I produce are offset by planting trees in my grove via our partner

Changes to my workflow
When it comes to designing and developing websites, I make sure that I follow the latest coding practices and ensure that the pages are as lean as possible to keep their carbon footprint as small as possible.

Chosing a reponsible host
Once the website is complete, I will help you find a web hosting provider that is climate friendly. This involves making sure they are powered by renewables and that they have a strong focus on sustainability and ethical practices.

0.2 How much does it cost to hire a Freelance Web Designer?
Every Freelance Web Designer will charge for projects slightly differently. I charge on a per project basis, so I would ask you to send me a brief outlining your requirements. That way I can see if we'll be a good fit and if I believe I have the skills needed to bring your project to life. I can say that my prices for bespoke design & development typically start at around the £2,500 + VAT figure.
