My experience with Poppy has been nothing short of exceptional. From our initial meeting with the team to discuss our website design goals, we were pleasantly surprised when they guided us through a brand creation exercise. This exercise yielded some incredible brand options that perfectly resonated with our business identity. The creative process continued as the talented team meticulously crafted a website that not only met but exceeded my every expectation. I couldn’t be happier with the end result, which is precisely what I had envisioned. Thank you, to the Poppy team for turning our vision into a stunning reality!

A low carbon website comes with some pretty awesome perks. First off, it’s a green superhero, using less energy and spewing out less carbon, making it a breeze to do your bit for the planet. These sites are speed demons too; they’re designed to zip through quickly by ditching the digital fluff, so visitors aren’t left twiddling their thumbs. Google loves a speedy site, so your low carbon website could zoom up the search rankings, leaving competitors eating your dust. Plus, quick access to info makes visitors happier, which means they’re more likely to buy something or drop you a line. And let’s not forget, using less energy can save you some cash on hosting and other costs. It’s a win-win!

Frequently asked questions

The cost of a low carbon website can vary, much like the price of a cup of posh coffee – depending on whether you’re going for a straightforward brew or something with all the frills. Generally, a low carbon website won’t cost much more than a regular one, though we’ll be adding a bit of extra polish to optimise the code, images, and other bits for efficiency. So, while it might be a smidge pricier for that green touch, you’ll be getting more bang for your eco-buck!

Here’s a rough breakdown:

Basic Low Carbon Website: For a simple, small-scale site, you might be looking at a few thousand pounds, similar to a basic website.

Custom or Larger Low Carbon Website: For more complex sites with bespoke designs, interactive features, or e-commerce, costs could range from several thousand to tens of thousands of pounds.

The good news is that investing in a low carbon website is like finding a hidden treasure – saving you money on energy and hosting costs, boosting your SEO, and giving visitors a top notch experience. All this can boost your sales and inquiries, creating a great outcome for your business!

So don’t be shy just give us a shout to chat about your needs and how we can help you make your site both green and great.

Building a sustainable website is a bit like cooking – timing depends on what’s on the menu. For a simple site, we can usually whip it up in about 12 weeks. If you’re after something a bit fancier, like e-commerce or interactive features, it might take us around 3-6 months. And if you’re dreaming of a grand, custom-built site with all the bells and whistles, it could take 6-8 months or more. These timelines cover everything from the initial planning to the final touches, so we’ll be right there with you, making sure everything runs smoothly. Just keep the feedback coming, and we’ll keep things on track!

A low carbon website is a bit like having your cake and eating it too. It’s good for the environment and great for your business! It uses less energy and creates fewer carbon emissions, making your environmental footprint a lot lighter. Plus, these sites zip along faster than a caffeinated squirrel, keeping visitors happy and reducing bounce rates. Google loves a speedy site, so your low carbon website could climb the search rankings and leave your competitors in the dust. With a smoother user experience, your visitors will find what they need with ease leading to more sales and enquiries. And because it uses less energy, you might even save a few quid on hosting and operational costs.
