Web Sustainability Index 1.0 is a digital tool created by design agency 1508 to deliver engaging design and exceptional user experiences with the lowest carbon footprint possible. They achieve this through a method called Low Carbon Design.
To effectively reduce the carbon impact of digital products, they needed reliable tools to measure website performance and offer insights for improvement. Existing tools provided data but lacked actionable advice. To solve this, they launched their carbon audit tool on August 12, 2024.
The tool allows users to assess a website’s performance, page weight, and carbon footprint and compare it with competitors. It also offers tailored recommendations to reduce environmental impact, making it stand out from other tools. The tool is user-friendly, visually appealing, and incorporates minimalist design to align with low carbon principles.
