Create change through sustainable website design that reflects your values

You, like I, desire to live a fulfilling life and have a thriving sustainable business. You know that one step in the journey to accomplish that goal is for your website design to reflect your values.

Some simple ways to have a sustainable business and lifestyle, include

• build a triple bottom line business: social, environmental, and financial
• repurpose material—be it physical or virtual
• use environmentally friendly website hosting
• recycle
• work locally or virtually (think globally)
• act with generosity

You live your unique lifestyle, yet are connected to others through your desire to make a meaningful difference in our world.

You might ride bicycles, drive a hybrid car, volunteer, love organic (in all forms), start a non-profit.

You live generously.

You know that websites today can be beautiful, sustainable and successful.
