About Us
№ 1. We're NumeroSign.
You know that little "№" that sometimes shows up instead of the word number? We love those—they're tiny, beautiful, and effective. In fact, we like those little buggers so much that we named ourselves for them.
So we're NumeroSign, and, like our namesake, we're just old-fashioned enough to be kinda cool (Exhibit A: we still hyphenate e-mail!). We have a small footprint and a big purpose: hand-coding websites that are compact, easy to use and hard to forget.
Plus, we're dedicated to social and environmental reponsibility, and we care enough about those goals to discount our services for those whose work we want to support and encourage. We think that makes us especially awesome.
№ 2. Sustainable web design. Really.
Almost everyone's “sustainable” these days. That word's everywhere and it hardly seems to mean anything anymore. So we understand how "Sustainable Web Design" sounds, but it really is the way we do things.
Here's how it works: We believe that everything you do affects everything else. That means if you drive a Hummer fifteen miles to work, throwing coffee cups and muffin wrappers out the window as you go, it dirties whatever you do when you get there—even if your job is planting trees. The Hummer and the garbage are the collateral cost of those trees, and that sort of really bums us out.
№s 3 – 6,289.
So you do what you can, and not just the easy stuff. You work hard to minimize the collateral impact of your work. That's why we rely on public transit, code on Energy Star-certified computers, power the studio with wind-sourced electricity, buy local produce from local sellers, use a hybrid car when it's too crappy outside to bike, and strive to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
So that's how we do it. Take a look at what we do. We're awful gosh-darn proud of it.
