Sprout* Landing Page

I'm currently creating Sprout*, the sustainable website builder. I have used Sprout* to build this website! The Sprout* landing page is modern, minimalist, and emits 99% less CO₂ than an average website, according to Website Carbon.

SDG Showcase

This site spotlights the business school at University of Galway's contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals and connects sustainability-focused academics. Built with WordPress and emits 96% less CO2 than the average site.

Why Sustainable Websites?

The internet is responsible for ~4% of global CO2 emissions. Most modern websites are bloated, energy-intensive, and often overlook accessibility. I design fast, minimalist websites that are low-carbon, fully accessible, and built with performance in mind. Better for the planet, better for users, and better for SEO.
