Tech experts join forces to launch eco-friendly web agency
Two Northamptonshire-based entrepreneurs have joined forces to launch a web design agency that solely creates low carbon websites for its clients. Poppy Eco Hub, founded by Marie Cox and Daniel Lister, partners
with organisations seeking to reduce their carbon emissions, while building fast loading, high-performing websites that rank well within search engines. Marie, who runs her own website and graphic design business,
Poppy Design Studio, has been building Wordpress websites for nearly 20 years. She said: “So many people are unaware that websites have a carbon footprint and create carbon dioxide emissions. “A poorly designed and built webpage can churn out tens of
grammes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) with every click. Even if your web page produces just 2g of CO2e per view and receives 10,000 monthly page views, you’re looking at 240kg CO2e per year – that’s about the same as driving from Land’s End to John O’Groats and back in the average car! “By cutting that down to 0.8g per view, you would see a 60%
reduction in emissions. Making these changes now is crucial for a lasting, positive eff ect on our planet and we are here to help businesses to do this.”
ALL THINGS BUSINESS | 32
Member for Local Economy, Culture and Leisure at West Northamptonshire Council. What many people don’t know, is that Daniel has a vast tech background, including working for marketing and data giant Kantar. Daniel and Marie met at a networking event and soon realised
that they had a shared interest in sustainability and innovation. Daniel saw Marie’s website work and was immediately impressed and saw the potential for embarking on a business venture together. He said: “Poppy Eco Hub is about more than just going green -
it’s about building high-performance, technically sound websites. We utilise ultra-efficient, green energy powered data centres, clean coded design, and carefully selected themes to create fast, lean sites. Even the small details matter, like using the latest video codecs to reduce fi le size without sacrifi cing quality. T is technical precision results in faster load times, a smoother user experience, and increased accessibility. Plus, these optimised sites come with SEO benefi ts, helping them rank higher in search engines and, ultimately, driving more sales. “We are hugely excited about the launch of Poppy Eco Hub and
already have interest from several companies looking to reduce their carbon footprint through our sustainable, eco-friendly websites. If we built all our websites sustainably, we could eliminate as many emissions as the world’s fourth biggest polluting country or the equivalent emissions of the global aviation industry. “We shouldn’t be getting poorer to get greener. We can change the world by thinking smarter.”
