Sustainable Web Design for Councils: 1,000 Trees and Counting

Home All Blogs Sustainable Web Design for Councils: 1,000 Trees and Counting

We’re delighted to share that Zonkey Council Websites has reached a new sustainability milestone: we’ve planted over 1,000 trees through our partnership with Ecologi. It’s a small step in the right direction—but a meaningful one for us, our clients and the planet.

Supporting Councils in Going Green

As a provider of bespoke website solutions for local councils, we understand how important sustainability is to the public sector. From net zero targets to digital transformation strategies, councils are expected to lead the way in building a greener, more sustainable future.

Our tree-planting initiative reflects that same commitment. Every tree we plant supports global reforestation and carbon offsetting efforts – helping mitigate the environmental impact of digital services.

Our Services for Local Authorities

We specialise in designing and building websites for town, parish, and local councils across the UK. Our services include:

  • Custom-built accessible websites that meet WCAG 2.2 guidelines
  • Ongoing updates and content support
  • Secure hosting and maintenance
  • Integrated council services (e.g. minutes, agendas, news updates)
  • Digital training and support for council clerks and staff

We aim to deliver platforms that are not only functional and accessible, but also sustainable – both in terms of energy usage and long-term performance.

A Digital Agency with a Green Mission

Our work with Ecologi allows us to take measurable, transparent action toward a more climate-conscious future. Whether we’re helping a small parish council reach more residents online or supporting a large unitary authority with a full digital overhaul, we believe in building with care – for users, for communities, and for the environment.

Thank you to our council clients for continuing to partner with us on work that’s both meaningful and forward-thinking. Together, we’re growing something good – online and off.
