Sparkbox is developing our own Website Carbon Calculator as a hands-on way to explore web sustainability and learn how to reduce digital carbon footprints. We’re asking for your input so we can create the most useful tool possible.
At Sparkbox, learning together is a core part of how we grow as developers and consultants. This year, we’re committing to a long-term internal project that allows us to apply our skills in a meaningful way by building something real while learning from each other. The idea came out of our recent Pitch Day. After a round of voting, we landed on this year’s Build Lab project: a Website Carbon Calculator that helps website owners measure and reduce their digital carbon footprint.
The user survey is the next step in this journey. We want to hear from you—what do you look for in a website carbon calculator? What insights would help you make more sustainable decisions? Your feedback will help us explore how real users think about web sustainability. This is an internal project, but one with real meaning. We want to engage with potential users here as we would on any client project.
We plan to share our progress with you here as we build, learn, and refine our approach to sustainable web development. If you’re interested in web sustainability, take the survey and help us create something great! The form will be open until May 09, 2025.
At the end of the day, we’re a team of curious, collaborative learners who love tackling big questions and real-world challenges. If that sounds like the kind of team you’d want to work with, we’d love to chat.
