At Light Bulb Web Design in Carlisle, we build beautiful, fast and future-ready websites that put people first and the planet next. We combine green-powered hosting, efficient design, and clear reporting so your website delivers great user experience with a lower environmental footprint.
Green hosting
We host our websites at Telehouse East in London, a data centre fully powered by renewable energy. That means the electricity used to run your site comes from green sources, reducing the carbon emissions associated with hosting and delivery.
Energy efficient design
We design to minimise energy use across the full user journey:
- Performance-first development: Careful software selection so pages load quickly and use less device and server power.
- Optimised media: Images and video are responsive, compressed and delivered in modern formats to cut data transfer.
- Smart delivery: Caching, CDNs and adaptive loading reduce repeated requests to origin servers and lower overall energy consumption.
Responsible content and data
- Keep it essential: We advise on content that drives value and avoid unnecessary features or always-on effects that increase energy use.
- Data minimisation: We store only what is needed, remove temporary files promptly, and keep data flows efficient.
Measurable commitments
- Trackable metrics: We can report page weight, transfer size, and performance scores (Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse) so efficiency gains are clear.
- Client summary: Where requested as part of the deliverables, projects includes a concise sustainability summary showing hosting location, renewable powering and the key performance metrics that relate to energy use.
- Continuous optimisation: We review and refine sites regularly to improve efficiency and maintain performance as content evolves.
Partner expectations
We favour suppliers and subcontractors who share our sustainability values and prefer services with clear low-carbon credentials. Where helpful, we will recommend greener alternatives for analytics, media hosting and integrations.
