Building the Sustainable Web

How to Create Web Products That Respect People and the Planet

Cover of "Building the Sustainable Web" by Chris Chinchilla and Ines Akrap

Every decision you make during the development of a web product has an impact. On the people using it. On the devices running it. On the networks carrying it. On the planet powering it.

Chris and I wrote this book because we believe those decisions deserve more attention than they usually get. Building the Sustainable Web covers the entire stack, from infrastructure and hosting to backend architecture, frontend delivery, design, content, and marketing. Each chapter connects technical decisions to their real-world consequences and gives you the tools to make better ones.

We wrote it for developers, designers, architects, and product teams who want to build digital products that are fast, resilient, and responsible by design. Not as an afterthought.

The foreword is by Chris Adams of the Green Web Foundation.

Editors are working their magic on the manuscript.
