For many small and medium-sized businesses, spreadsheets and a collection of disconnected tools are what keep the wheels turning. Quotes might live in one file, project updates in another, supplier details in a shared drive somewhere, and reporting spread across multiple tabs. It works when the team is small. But as the business grows, that patchwork setup quickly starts to show its cracks.

When most people think about carbon emissions, they picture planes, cars, or factories, not websites. But every time a web page is loaded, energy is consumed. Data moves across networks, servers process requests, and devices render pages. That energy use carries a carbon footprint. At DEXM, we decided to take a closer look at the impact of the websites we host and build a clear, responsible strategy to offset it.

When organisations plan a new website, the conversation often centres around design and content. Hosting is usually an afterthought. But the hosting platform plays a far bigger role than most people realise. It determines how fast a site runs, how secure it is, and how easy it is to keep everything up to date over time. At DEXM, we’ve worked with many different hosting solutions over the years. Some are flexible but complex to manage. Others make updates cumbersome or rely too heavily on manual intervention. Over time, one platform has consistently stood out for its simplicity, stability, and how well it supports the kind of projects we deliver: Umbraco Cloud.

We’re excited to share that Max Burrows has joined DEXM. Max recently completed his BA in Media Production at the University of Brighton, while also taking additional courses in software development. This mix of creative and technical skills gives him a unique perspective on how technology and storytelling come together, which aligns perfectly with the kind of work we do at DEXM.

We’re excited to share that Christian Wegerer has officially joined DEXM as our first employee. Christian brings a strong technical foundation and a disciplined, process-driven approach to software development. Having studied Software Engineering at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, Christian brings a structured and thoughtful approach to building reliable, scalable digital solutions.

At DEXM, we’ve built our business around technology and solutions. We’re not a marketing agency or a creative studio — and that’s entirely by design. Our role is to be the technical foundation behind great digital experiences. We specialise in robust, scalable platforms that give businesses the confidence and flexibility to grow. Whether it’s building Umbraco websites, developing custom management systems, or providing secure and reliable hosting, our focus is on building technology that lasts.

We’re proud to announce that DEXM is now the Channel Islands’ only official Umbraco partner, strengthening our commitment to delivering exceptional digital solutions built on the Umbraco platform. Umbraco is a flexible, open-source CMS that powers thousands of websites around the world. Known for its intuitive editing experience, powerful integrations, and strong developer community, it’s the platform of choice for organisations that value both creativity and scalability.
