About

After eight years of design, marketing and consulting, Joey Shepp founded Earthsite with the vision of creating a global network of sustainability brands. He focused on transforming traditional websites into "Earth-sites" - harnessing new web technology that empowers clients with simple administration tools, engaging user features, and wind-powered hosting services.

In 2003 Joey decided to pursue a Green MBA which is now a program at Dominican University of CA to work on building a business plan for the long term growth of the company. He soon pulled together a team of inspired leaders committed to expanding Earthsite into a full-service agency. This core group consists of a talented pool of designers, developers, architects and project managers with diverse expertise in technology and marketing.

Earthsite has built a reputation as a reliable resource for web development and marketing strategy.

Background

Combining his interest in ecology, technology, and business Joey Shepp evolved his marketing consulting business into what is now Earthsite. Started in 2003, Earthsite began as a web design company with a vision of creating a network of sustainable websites catering to Green businesses. Our motto: We don't just create "web"sites we create "earth"sites.

Joey pursued an MBA in Sustainable Enterprise and received his degree in 2005 from the Dominican University of CA's Green MBA program. There he not only expanded his network in the sustainability community, he also met his future wife, Stacie. Combining their interests and talents Joey and Stacie worked on a plan for expanding Earthsite into a full service marketing agency. Since that time Joey and Stacie have scaled the company up with the addition of staff, services, and the opening of the Earthsite Headquarters in Fairfax, CA in 2006. In 2008, Earthsite became a New Media Agency for Sustainable Brands. New Media entails several components ranging from marketing strategy, website design and development, to social media campaigns. Today we offer a variety of services to meet a brands marketing objectives through online marketing tactics.

Sustainability

Earthsite is a certified Bay Area Green Business, a member of Green America and the Green Chamber of Commerce. In our commitment to sustainability, we do everything we can to reduce our carbon footprint.

We are working on becoming a paperless office by sharing documents electronically and when we do print, we reuse scrap paper or print double sided. We purchase state of the art new technology and to reduce e-waste we always find a second home for electronics to keep them from ending up in the landfill. Our website and many of our client's websites are carbon neutral hosted by Sustainable Hosting. And we recycle and compost!

Earthsite's Vision

The core values of Earthsite can be summed up in the "triple" bottom line approach to business, recognizing the balance between equity, ecology, and economics. Earthsite as a brand represents authenticity, connectivity, and creativity. Earthsite as a culture represents community, teamwork, and innovation.
