Laboratory
Earthsite's team is continuously working on exploring and building on new ideas through our laboratory. In addition to the client work showcased in our portfolio, Earthsite has launched some of its own projects.   Here is a sampling of our work.  If you are interested in learning more about any of these projects feel free to contact us.

GreenMaven.com

green-mavenIn 2006 Earthsite created the world’s most comprehensive Green Search Engine, GreenMaven.com.  GreenMaven has been recognized by Time.com, BBC, and CBS Radio.  The search engine searches over 8,000 websites representing over one million pages.  5,000+ green businesses have been approved in the directory.

"Going green has never been easier than with Green Maven. Editors at the site hand-pick web pages and news items related to the environmental movement-about everything from eco-friendly cities to organic socks-that can then be searched using the Google tool on the homepage or browsed through using a directory."
~ Lee Ettleman, TIME.COM

"Just a note to thank you for such an outstanding and valuable website. I've just forwarded it to a dozen people who will also forward it widely. I will read Green Maven regularly and continue the transition to a complete green lifestyle. Thank you so much for the content and the excellence of presentation."
~ Helen Brown, San Rafael, CA

Testimonials

“I’ve worked with web developers before – Earthsite is by far the best I’ve worked with.  They far exceeded my expectations and delivered a beautiful and easy to use website that will no doubt raise the profile of my nonprofit.  From start to finish, Joey and the Earthsite team was organized and knowledgeable; and they helped us translate what started out as just an idea into a tangible first-of-its-kind sustainability website.  I’d definitely work with Earthsite again in the future.”
