Click to load imagery

In addition to optimised images, users could choose to load a higher-quality version if needed. Selecting higher-quality images showed an increase in CO₂ impact, giving instant feedback on sustainable choices.

Lightweight code

We reduced the website code size by 70% by keeping the site simple and modular, allowing us to use only CSS and HTML, even for animations!
