LawHub: A Sustainable Website Transformation

profile-avatar

Overview bee

We collaborated with LawHub, a leading provider of legal services, to transform their website into a more sustainable and energy-efficient platform. The goal was to have great UX and UI, however when we design we made sure it emits less carbon, while maintaining the high-quality user experience that LawHub is known for.

To achieve this, we focused on four key areas: migrating to a sustainable host, revamping the UI/UX, improving the website's load time, and making it more SEO-friendly.

Sustainable Website Hosting:

We have migrated the Genius Child website to a sustainable hosting provider that uses renewable energy sources. This has helped to reduce the website's carbon footprint and aligns with our commitment to environmental sustainability.

UI/UX Revamp:

We have revamped the website's UI/UX to make it more sustainable and user-friendly. This involved reviewing the design and code of the most frequently visited pages and identifying areas where we could reduce energy consumption without compromising the user experience. We also made recommendations for improving the overall sustainability of the website, such as using more energy-efficient colors and reducing the use of images and videos.

Load Time Optimization:

We conducted a thorough assessment of the website's code and identified areas where we could optimize it to reduce the amount of data that needed to be loaded. This helped improve the website's load time, which not only provides a better user experience but also reduces the amount of energy required to load the site.

SEO Optimization:

We worked on making the website more SEO-friendly by optimizing the website's code and content to improve its search engine rankings. This helps increase the visibility of the website and attract more organic traffic, which can reduce the need for paid advertising and further reduce carbon emissions.
