De voordelen van
‍Duurzaam webdesign

Sustainable webdesign is an approach that focuses on reducing the negative impact of web technology. It puts people and planet first by reducing the CO2 emissions of your website and making it as user friendly as possible.

A vital part to your sustainability efforts

Sustainability is becoming a key issue for businesses and society in general, as people realise that current industrial, economic and social systems are storing up problems for the future.

Tackeling your website is a small but important step to become a more sustainable company. Besides, it’s a great tool to talk about your sustainability efforts to your stakeholders.

Loading times & SEO

Sustainable websites are as light as possible, which reduces the CO2 offset, but also insures loading times are as low as possible. Speedy loading times are great for people without patience, but they also effect your results on search engines in a positive way.

Accessibility

Accessible websites are optimized to ensure a site remains usable to as many people as possible, including folks with disabilities, changing abilities, poor internet connections, people using assistive technologies, and more.

to the test

Hoe maken we een website duurzaam?

1. Get to the point

In webdesign it’s no longer a goal to keep people on your website as long as possible, on the contrary.

We want people to find the information they’re searching for as easy and fast as possible.

  • Make your information architecture as clear as possible.
  • Remove instead of archive old blogposts / vacancies / ...

2. Meaningfull design

INever use a generic images or meaningless background video. If they have added value, use the proper formats.

Make wise choices on color and typography,...

  • Add online animations instead of video to make your website more interactive.
  • Did you know custom fonts can be a huge burden? Eliminiate all the characters you don’t need.

3. Smart development

The more efficient the code, the better for the environment, but also for SEO, maintenance and perfomance.

  • Chose an awesome developer.
  • Add-on’s on website can be true CO2 burdens. Make smart choices and don’t add analytic  tools you don’t use.
This is an extremely simplified representation of the process to make a website more sustainable with some first tips and tricks. Of course there is more. We'd love talk about it in real life.
