Eco-Design: At the Heart of Our Identity

Since 2002, Glasshouse has integrated and applied eco-design principles at every stage of creating a digital project or service.

We are committed to considering the environmental impact of our productions throughout their entire life cycle (design - development - deployment - management - usage - maintenance - closure).

This model gave us our name: Glasshouse is a house of glass where everything is transparent, and it's also a greenhouse where your projects flourish.

In practical terms, to save as many resources as possible (such as energy consumption or service duration), our work follows several essential guidelines:

  • A simple and logical architecture
  • Optimal technical performance
  • Design that enhances understanding
  • Content that prioritizes quality over quantity
  • A high-performance, scalable, and environmentally friendly hosting solution (Green Hosting)

Accessibility as a Fundamental

As Tim Berners-Lee (the primary inventor of the World Wide Web) rightly said: "The power of the Web is in its universality. Access by everyone, regardless of disability, is an essential aspect."

Glasshouse has always been particularly sensitive to the importance of accessibility in digital services and tools, ensuring our work is accessible and useful to all.

Accessibility is a mark of quality (first in design and code). Our commitment in this area is both a duty to the web's universality and to our clients, ensuring their message reaches all their audiences.

To make the websites and digital tools we create accessible, Glasshouse:

  • Respects all web accessibility standards (to provide tailored content and optimize the use of assistive technologies)
  • Designs alternative, perceptible interfaces and architectures
  • Creates specific solutions and functionalities

Commitments FAQ

Eco-design for a website or digital service means minimizing its environmental impact from design to usage, optimizing resources used (energy, data, loading times) while maintaining peak performance.

Web accessibility ensures that websites and digital services are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. This involves adhering to technical standards that allow for the use of assistive technologies like screen readers.

W3C standards are a set of technical recommendations developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to ensure interoperability, accessibility, and performance for web content and services.
