What is Pixelset?
We're a project started by our founder Lewis, to provide a central home and for support, authentication, planning, and management for a number of websites and services. We're not a company, charity or organisation, just a few people making websites and software.
By combining the common functions required of all websites into a single place, it's allowed us to run more websites than we could before, reduce the amount of repeated services we have to make, and allow for a more seamless user experience across our websites and services.
If you have a website, but don't want to handle support, authentication, or hosting of certain types of documentation, let us know! We're happy to help out.

The Environment 🌳
100% Renewable Energy
All our websites and projects are hosted on eco-friendly servers in the UK powered by 100% renewable energy - no dodgy carbon offsets or schemes, just 100% renewable electricity from Ecotricity. We use Krystal servers which are hosted in a datacentre with a 1.2 PUE rating.
Planting Trees
Krystal plants trees for every client, so when we use their services to host our websites and servers we're contributing to the planting of these trees.
Lightweight Web Design
All our websites are built in a way that reduces their impact on the environment. Every time you load a web page you're releasing carbon into the air, because the servers, cables, computers, and your internet service provider all need power to serve the content. Alongside using green servers, we also compress our images, files, and pages to serve them using less power, and therefore less carbon.
