Lighter content and pages
Review images, videos, files and components to limit unnecessary data transfers. Preserve the information and quality of the user experience.
Digital sustainability
Digital choices that consider resources.
We help assess what your project needs and where it can improve. Performance, maintenance and resource use are part of that analysis.
Our approach
Start with the project's needs
A digital solution should address a specific need and remain useful over time. Our approach starts with the company's objectives, conditions of use and available resources.
We propose improvements appropriate to the project and planned investment. The proposal sets out the work, validation criteria and, where applicable, ongoing support. Results depend on the measures adopted and actual use.
Infrastructure and energy
The infrastructure matters too.
Digital services rely on equipment, networks and data centres. The energy used by this infrastructure contributes to their environmental impact.
Vectweb’s servers are hosted in ONI’s Lisbon (Matinha) data centre. According to the provider’s public information, its data centres use 100% renewable electricity, with traceability through Greenchain technology.

Practices
Practices we can apply
We select the relevant practices for each project. Implementation depends on the agreed scope.
Clear and accessible user journeys
Organise information and make essential tasks easier. Include keyboard use and access on different devices in the validation criteria.
Data with a defined purpose
Review duplicate and outdated information. Agree what to retain, archive or remove, with attention to business needs and applicable obligations.
Appropriate infrastructure
Assess capacity, operation and continuity requirements. Consider verifiable information from suppliers about energy and resources, where available.
Maintenance and continuity
Plan maintenance and documentation to keep the solution useful. Assess whether existing components can be reused before deciding to replace them.
Careful use of automation and AI
Assess suitability for the process, the resources required, errors and the effort involved in human review. Efficiency requires comparison with the initial situation.
Each improvement must preserve security, service continuity and the tasks carried out by those who use the solution.
Evaluation
Define a baseline and evaluate progress
When the project includes improvement objectives, we agree the indicators and comparison method before implementation.
-
Identify the starting point
Select representative pages or processes and record available data. Identify conditions that affect comparisons.
-
Choose priorities
Define measures, investment, owners and acceptance criteria. Start with improvements that are useful to your company.
-
Compare and decide
Repeat the assessment under comparable conditions, check results and record limitations. Define whether adjustments or ongoing support are needed.
Less data transferred or a shorter execution time are technical indicators. A conclusion about energy or emissions requires its own data and methodology.
Indicators
Indicators suited to the objective
We choose indicators according to the planned improvement and the data that can be obtained.
Website and content
Data transferred on selected pages, performance and completion of essential tasks.
Processes and automation
Time per task, errors, repetitions and review effort, with the workload recorded.
Resources and infrastructure
Storage and resource use; energy consumption only where suitable data is available.
If environmental estimates are provided, we identify the method, scope, period and limitations. We also compare changes in total usage volume.
Connection to our services
An approach connected to our services
Digital sustainability can inform improvements to an existing project or criteria for a new one.
Professional websites
Review content, performance and user journeys.
Automation and artificial intelligence
Assess processes and the conditions for useful automation.
Hosting, maintenance and support

We present proposed measures and the results that the data supports. Conclusions should state the context and limits of the evaluation.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about digital sustainability
Can an existing website be improved?
Yes. The analysis may identify improvements to content, features or hosting conditions. Feasibility and investment depend on the website's condition and the access available.
Does a faster website produce fewer emissions?
Speed alone does not determine emissions. An environmental assessment depends on the resources used, energy, infrastructure and scope considered. A technical improvement can be useful without allowing a reduction in emissions to be quantified.
Do automation and AI make a process more sustainable?
It depends on the case. We compare the initial process with the proposed solution, the resources required and the review effort. Operational gains and environmental effects need assessments suited to each objective.
Does the analysis require replacing the platform or hosting?
The decision depends on existing needs and conditions. We can propose improvements to the current solution. Replacement requires an assessment of benefits, costs and service continuity.
Does this approach include environmental certification?
This page describes our working approach. Certification or external verification requires its own scope and an appropriate body, with a separate assessment and agreement.
How can I get started?
Tell us about the website, application or process you would like to assess and your objectives. We define the information required and the next step. The proposal sets out the scope and conditions of the analysis.
Does Vectweb’s hosting have zero carbon emissions?
We do not claim that our hosting has zero carbon emissions. ONI’s public information concerns the renewable source of the electricity used by its data centres. The impact of a digital service also depends on equipment, networks and other resources used in its operation.
Where can your digital solution improve?
Talk to us about your website or processes. We can help define the priorities.
