A few words about us
What does our name "erjjio" mean? Pronounced "urge-ee-oh", it’s based on our planet-friendly mission to urge the world's website owners to move to clean, green energy. The Internet has a surprisingly large environmental impact because of the energy guzzled by data centres behind the scenes, and we want to change that. We create beautiful websites which are powered by 100% renewable energy and optimised to minimise their carbon footprint.
A note from our founder
In these highly uncertain times, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the challenges we’re all facing. Despite the world’s attention having turned to the Covid-19 pandemic, the climate emergency remains an urgent and enormous threat to our future.
We want to help you be part of the solution, not the problem. By switching your website to renewable energy and planting trees every month through our partnership with the wonderful team at Eden Reforestation Projects, you’ll be making a positive contribution to the world.
We also understand the blood, sweat and tears that go into creating, growing and maintaining a business. We’re here to support you. We create fantastic websites to help bring your ideas and new business models to life, and we take care of all the complicated stuff - so you don't have to.
I started the business following 10 years working at a major multinational software company in London where I created market-leading software and websites. I grew tired of the corporate lifestyle and wanted to put my skills and experience to use on a new challenge which more directly aligned with my personal values. So at the end of 2016, I decided to step away and build my own company where I could help people make a difference to the world through the use of technology.
Everyone in my team has been carefully hand-picked not only for their hot-shot skills, but also their enthusiasm for the environment and sustainability. I’m extremely proud of them and we'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you.
We can change the world together.
Let’s chat soon.

Our values
We're a small, enthusiastic and hard-working team. We hold each other to high standards and evaluate ourselves against our 3 core values. You can trust us to take care of everything and own all the challenges, so you can focus on running your business.
Attention to Detail
We're obsessive about details and we’ve created extensive checklists, processes and systems which we continuously refine.

Integrity
We do what's right, fair and best for you in order to build a positive, mutually respectful and sustainable relationship.
What sets us apart
Most other agencies charge by the hour or day for their work - but we think that kind of billing creates an unfair conflict of interest which incentivises agencies to spend more time on things than they should. It benefits the agency, but not you.
What if you don’t like the results of their creative work? Are you going to get hit with runaway bills charged by the hour until they get it right, effectively making you write a blank cheque - without knowing if you’ll end up with something you like before your budget runs out?
We do things differently, by placing the responsibility on ourselves to get it right for you as quickly as possible. We offer fixed, up-front and no-obligation quotes before starting work - and we keep to our word until the job is complete, even if it takes us longer than we anticipated. That means no unpleasant surprises for you - only predictable, reliable results.
We're by your side, helping you find your way and achieve your goals. Don’t just take our word for it - check out our glowing reviews on Trustpilot and Google.
