Why eco-design a website?
1. Reduce our ecological footprint: digital technology accounts for a growing share of global CO2 emissions.
2. Improve user experience: eco-designed sites are often faster, simpler and more accessible.
3. Reinforce a responsible image: committing to eco-design shows a concrete commitment to the ecological transition.
An eco-designed site is one that combines efficiency, simplicity and sustainability to meet environmental challenges while offering an excellent user experience.
Key features of an eco-designed site
Resource optimization
• Reduced web page weight: Compressed images, optimized code and limited animations reduce the amount of data to be loaded.
• Minimization of server requests: Reduction of unnecessary calls to the server to limit energy consumption.
Accessibility and simplicity
• Clean design: Light, intuitive interfaces to reduce the number of calculations required for loading.
• Optimized content: Clear, targeted text to avoid unnecessary information overload.
• Efficient navigation: Clear organization of content to reduce user search time.
Improved performance
• Fast loading speed: Reduce the time needed to display pages, which saves energy and improves the user experience.
• Use of low-impact technologies: Favor lightweight programming languages and frameworks.
Longevity and scalability
• Sustainable design: Adaptable site design to avoid frequent complete redesigns.
• Simplified maintenance: easy updating to limit the resources needed to keep it running.
