Your website should not only have a low carbon footprint but also act as a trust-building sales tool that authentically reflects your current business and connects with ideal clients. It should also save you time by automating tasks and answering questions before they're asked.
A solid website strategy is key to driving traffic and showcasing your expertise. You want a site that attracts the right audience, builds trust, and ultimately boosts your business. Most importantly, it should be a website you’re proud to share—one that represents your growth and shines like you do today.
You’re a brilliant leader in the sustainability and eco space. A positive force that shines. A Luminary.

Lucian's consultation was invaluable for optimising my eco-friendly sports and sustainability website. He helped me compress images, reduce page weight and boost my Website Carbon Calculator score from D to A. He also suggested practical changes like clearer CTAs, streamlined services, and a refined homepage. Thanks to Lucian's guidance, my website is more user-friendly with a lower carbon footprint!
Lucian is a top-class professional with an eye for detail and outstanding creativity. He really brought my website to life. Communication was always there and he was never afraid to help and answer questions. I strongly recommend Lucian - everything has been 10/10 from start to finish.
We've worked with Lumin on multiple occasions to get help with our website, and Lucian's understanding and ability to translate what we needed to happen and put it into motion is amazing.

We take a lot of pride in creating websites with a low carbon footprint. We're good at it, too.
We guarantee if you choose to go with one of our low-carbon websites, the carbon emitted by your website will have less carbon emissions per page view than at least 80% of other sites on the internet. At least. In most cases (like this website we're scoring above 90% better than other websites.
Your website will be tested using an industry-wide testing tool to get a percentage and a grade.
If you’re torn between getting a fresh, strategy-driven website and revamping your existing one, our New Moon Audit is the best place to start.
If that’s enough to get you where you need to be, great; it’s our genuine pleasure to help. But if you feel your site needs a professional touch, we’d love to talk about that, too.
The New Moon website audit helped me identify blind spots I had on my website. Both in terms of design and conversion rate, like CTAs and section placement. Lucian provided a ton of value in a short video. The feedback was on point and picked up improvements that I failed to see.
Every webpage on every website has some carbon emissions associated with it whenever a page is viewed. That's because a server has to send data all the way across to your phone or computer for you to see what's out there on the web.
Sustainable web design is concerned with creating low-carbon websites, or eco-websites. These have been optimised using several practices such as clean code, image optimisation, static site generation and more to create a more lightweight product. As a result, the carbon released per page view will be much lower.
Our most efficient build uses a static site generation framework called Astro and a headless CMS called Sanity. This is also known as a custom-coded website because it doesn't use a website builder. Thanks to the granular control we are able to optimise every part of the site and create a much more lightweight website known as a static site.
We also can produce pretty low-carbon Webflow websites, which gives you the advantages of modern website builders (and a smaller investment with us, as they're easier to build), while still being able to minimise your site's carbon footprint. We're pretty good at optimising these sites, but not as much as the custom-coded sites.
We're happy to chat more details about the options over a call.
If you’re keen to get an eco website and marketing strategy right away, that’s fantastic; we love your energy. However, we’ll still need to begin with a Crescent Moon Discovery Session to learn about your business and goals and make sure our solution is the best one for you. After that, though, we can create a custom proposal for your website build (with our Half Moon Strategy Creation included in the quote).
If you're only after web design, development and copywriting, we can help with that too. We'll need to chat first though.
We work with outdoor, wellness and sustainable brands. Any businesses inspired by or directly involved in anything outdoor-, nature-, natural health-, or fitness-related. As well as any conscious, planet-positive, or eco businesses. You know who you are, but, here are some examples:
If you fall outside of these categories, but see yourself as "purpose-driven" and you’re looking for a bold website that authentically captures your brand and converts browsers into buyers, we might be able to help you too.
Not all sites are made equal. Professional websites can cost anywhere from £1,000 up to £10,000, and beyond. The cost completely depends on the size, complexity, and quality of the site.
If you want a beautiful, compelling website that helps you stand tall in the market and drives your business towards its goals, it needs to sit at the centre of a website strategy. Building a strategy-backed website like this bumps up your costs a bit, but it will increase your ROI massively because your site will actually get traffic and convert. For high-quality, strategy-driven website design and development, our prices start at £2,450.
Yes! Through our Lumin Pack — our network of trusted, talented marketers and business consultants — we can craft copy that communicates the value of your offer to your ideal customer clearly and concisely, with a focus on the problems you solve. That way, you can show your prospects you understand them, and earn their trust and loyalty. If you’re interested, we can discuss professional copywriting during the Crescent Moon Discovery Session, as well as any other additional services like brand design, content writing and marketing.
Optimising your website for search engines (mostly Google) can be a great way to improve your site’s visibility and get more traffic. However, it’s just one of the many ways in which you can get more eyeballs on your site — and by default, our web design and development focuses on the more technical aspects of SEO, as opposed to content SEO.
This alone will increase Google’s love for your site, but if we add professional copywriting to the project, we can weave SEO keywords into the copy, further increasing the likelihood that Google will put your website in front of browsers when they search for something related to your product, service, or brand. Plus, our Growth and Support plans include quarterly SEO audits and keyword research.
We build websites in Webflow, ensuring they’re fast, scalable, carbon-optimised, SEO-friendly, responsive, and backed by enterprise-level infrastructure. Compared to websites created from the ground up with custom code, Webflow sites cost less to create and typically offer easier editing for you.
Our super eco-friendly builds, on the other hand, are built using custom code and a headless CMS, usually a combo of Astro and Sanity. This results in what’s known as a statically generated site, which, as a more lightweight solution, has an even lower carbon footprint. These sites are often a little faster, too — but more expensive than our Webflow builds.
For web design and strategy, yes. For web development, it depends.
However, on the whole, we try to work on full new website builds, as it allows complete flexibility to implement our strategy from scratch.
Lucian is transparent, and approachable and walks you through the whole process. The designs he came up with were a perfect match for our brand. Our site has helped new clients find us and allowed us to finally grow our online presence!
Lucian's website strategy exceeded my expectations. His insightful questions meant he understood my business and helped me to reflect on it. His analysis of how to improve my website and marketing strategy was practical and actionable, he covered it all. Just wow! Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your online presence.
Lucian is a fantastic person to deal with, which along with his design and development skills, makes the experience that much better. Lucian was able to understand what I wanted quickly and he completed the development within Webflow perfectly. If you're reading this you can be sure you won't regret working with him.
