Reducing the environmental impact of websites

Green Tech South West welcomes two local developers, Nick Lewis and Dryden Williams, to talk about the environmental impact of websites, and the tools they've created to support others in understanding and reducing the impact of their own sites.

What makes a sustainable website - lightning talk

Nick Lewis

In his talk, Nick will cover:

• A brief introduction into what makes a website sustainable
• Why considering how green your website is matters
• The basics of what can be done to start making a website green
