I Create Low-Carbon, Accessible Websites

Hi, I'm a freelance sustainable web designer and developer building low-carbon, high-performance, accessible websites for purpose-driven organisations.

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.

Fund4Action

A low-carbon, accessible fundraising platform for heritage projects. Like a sustainable GoFundMe. This platform was part of the EU-funded Heritact Toolkit. Emits 95% less CO₂ than the average site.

Community Energy Hub

This platform, developed with South East Energy Agency, helps Irish homeowners find sustainable home energy grants. Built using WordPress and with performance in mind - emitting 93% less CO₂ than the average site.

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.
