Viridis works in net zero construction. Sandbox Studios first built a brand to help it lead that space, then a website to take its vision worldwide.

The Challenge

A business that sells net zero has to practise it. Viridis needed a website that was sustainable in how it was built as well as in what it said, and that explained the benefits of sustainable construction to prospective clients.

The Approach

A sustainable build. Sandbox Studios designed and built the whole site using sustainable techniques, including compressed images, efficient file formats and lightweight fonts. The site is hosted on green servers.

Educational content. Messages across the site set out the benefits of sustainable construction and of engaging Viridis early, to attract the right prospects.

Professional and challenging. Your team has raised our brand awareness and credibility.
