Low Carbon Hub –
website redesign

In November 2026 we launched our second redesign of the Low Carbon Hub website.

It had been a number of years since we’d made any meaningful changes to their website and we all felt it was in need of an overhaul.

They are an organisation with lots going on in terms of sub-projects (many with their own websites) and different audiences to cater for, from their members, to partner sites, to smaller local community groups.

The process began with a discovery workshop at LCH’s leafy Oxford offices.

We thought this would be a good opportunity to map out their eco-system to make sure the website works for all their users. In order to conceive the website with fresh eyes, we used the workshop to ask what a community energy website could be and do in 2026.

As well as re-examining the structure of the site, we took the opportunity to refresh the brand. We introduced new title and body fonts, specifically chosen to communicate ‘friendly authority’, while maintaining legibility from large block impact numbers, down to small lightweight captions.

At the same time we tweaked the more troublesome brand colours to ensure accessibility.

We also spent some time looking at how we can better communicate the tremendous impact that LCH and its partner sites are creating in terms of renewable energy generation, CO2 savings and money back into local communities. To make this slightly more eye-catching than the usual numbers-in-boxes, we’ve added some more playful animated blocks.
