Make Hay Ethical Web Design & Green Web Hosting

Our services

We are an ethical website design company genuinely committed to supporting businesses, individuals and organisations to make a positive difference. We were one of the first and only web design companies to provide an ethical service in such a comprehensive way – environmentally, socially and technically.

We design all types of beautiful, creative and accessible websites built to modern standards, from blogs and portfolio sites to e-commerce and content management systems. Just visit our website to find out what our happy Make Hay clients had to say about us.

We also provide web hosting powered by renewable energy. We’re very proud of our hosting service because we know it is reliable, good value and most importantly 100% green. The wind energy that powers our hosting and the business that runs the wind farms must consistently meet strict criteria and are certified by Green-e. By using this kind of certified product rather than an isolated energy source we are able to support the development of renewables on a wider scale and at a high standard.

Ethical business

So, what makes us an ethical business? Well, there are a variety of practices that we incorporate every day which enable us to work in an environmentally friendly and responsible way. Our environmental policy outlines the steps we take to reduce our impact on the environment as well as helping us to set new goals so that we can continually improve. We take care to consider where we buy products and services for Make Hay and choose businesses based on their ethical credentials and, in choosing us, our clients do the same. Our ethical policy demonstrates to clients that we will not earn money from companies which they may feel are unethical, so we describe what types of businesses we will and won’t support. Our ethical policy is not meant to judge any business or organisation but it guides our day to day work and hopefully encourages thinking about responsible consumerism.

Supporting our clients

Because we believe in our clients’ work we want to support them above and beyond our regular services and this is why we set up Make Noise. Make Noise is a community interested in hearing of and spreading the word about positive work. The concept is really simple, anyone can join Make Noise and it costs nothing more than a few minutes of their time. As a Make Noise member you will receive, from time to time, information (in a newsletter) about a Make Hay client and if you think a friend would like to know about them too then pass it on. Make Noise is different from other types of advertising because Make Hay clients’ information is only sent to those who have expressed an interest in their area of work. Visit the Make Noise website to find out more – www.makenoise.co.uk

Here at Make Haywe also like to get involved in positive things happening around us, so we support a few local community groups by providing voluntary web design services to them.

We also run the popular Green Girls Global and Green Guys Global blogs.
