It is with great pleasure that we present to you Tjikko Studio. We make beautiful websites and platforms with minimal environmental impact. Our vision is to harmonise the web usage and information access needs of today with the critical eco-conscious principles of digital sobriety.

1/3. Why digital sobriety?

🙋‍♀️ 1.1 Why?

According to The Shift Project (Lean ICT, page 18, Fig. 3), digital technology accounts for 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions and could increase to 8% within 4 years (2025). As indicated on the HTTP Archive website, between 2015 and 2020, the average footprint of web pages increased by 65% on computers and 152% on mobile devices. With the arrival of 5G, this trend will only accelerate. And that's a problem!

💡1.2 The advantages of sobriety for you

Digital sobriety advocates a reduction in the footprint of websites and platforms to reduce the amount of energy and hardware required. Not only does this significantly reduce environmental impact while minimizing server costs, it also improves user experience by minimising wait times.

☝️ 1.3 No limitations

Even large and involved web projects can be designed using digitally sober design guidelines. In other words, tools like Wordpress can elegantly handle websites with many dozens of pages and articles.

The bulk of the work involves putting in place the right development tools, the design, the code and the optimization of assets (images, videos, fonts). The tools are selected according to the needs of the projects.

Here are five examples of well-designed digitally sober websites
