What is a Green Website?

Our green websites have a small carbon footprint compared to a 'standard' website.

Whist the average website is responsible for 1.76g of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere for each page loaded, a Wild Tree Digital website comes in at an average of 0.32g of CO2!

That means for every thousand pages viewed on a Wild Tree Digital website we're saving the equivalent of...

How to we do it?

Our websites are built with the environment in mind from the very start

Our websites are ‘data light’, meaning they are optimised to ensure that the amount of energy needed to get the web pages from the server is minimised.

The servers we use are carbon zero, provided by ‘eco hosts’. They are as reliable and secure as any other hosting, they just love the sun and wind more than most!

Everything Wild Tree Digital does, it does with the environment in mind. We minimise car travel, are paperless and our bank has divested from fossil fuels.

Happily, research shows that website visitors respond better to a clean and optimised website, so there’s no need to compromise on user experience 😊
