[ Social and environmental commitment ]

# Technology with purpose,
code with a conscience

We believe software development can and should have a positive impact. This is what we do, specifically, for the planet, for the people who use the websites we build and for our community.

[ Environment ]

## Our environmental commitment

A website also uses energy: on the server that delivers it and on the phone that downloads it. Less weight means less consumption.

### Efficient code, healthier planet

We develop optimized software that needs less processing, and therefore less energy on the servers. This website, for example, loads 2 scripts and 8 stylesheets on the home page, compared with 24 scripts and 146 stylesheets on the previous one.

### Smart equipment and energy use

In our day-to-day work we prioritize low-energy equipment and make the most of the resources we already have.

### Waste management

We separate our waste and reduce what we generate in our workspace, always looking for the most sustainable way to operate.

[ Community ]

## Building a better future, one website a month

We believe in using what we know how to do for the common good. That’s why, every month, we build a complete website for free for an NGO, a social project or a cause that’s making a difference in Brazil, Galicia or Portugal. Causes are chosen in a vote open to the community.

[ People ]

## Websites for everyone

A responsible website also respects the people who use it.

### Accessibility

We design with sufficient contrast, ordered headings, properly labeled forms and keyboard navigation. This website is checked with contrast and accessibility tests against WCAG level AA.

### Privacy

We only ask for the data we need and process it in line with GDPR. Analytics and advertising tools are only activated when the person gives their consent.

### Lightweight websites

A website that weighs little loads fast even with poor coverage and on older phones, which is how many people access the internet.

[ Region ]

## Committed to our land and our language

### Galician, online too

Our website is in Galician, and we write our clients’ websites in Galician when they want it, following the standard of the Royal Galician Academy.

### Training for beginners

We share what we know through hands-on workshops for entrepreneurs and small businesses taking their first steps online.
