The Turning Point
Not long ago, a client asked me a seemingly simple question:
“Could The LProject be delivered at a lower cost?”
At first, it sounded like a routine negotiation. But that question triggered something bigger: if the market is driven only by price, where does the real value of digital products go?
That was the moment I decided to open-source The LProject.
The Problem with Today’s Market
We’ve all seen it: websites and landing pages built on heavy CMS platforms, stacked with plugins and scripts. The result?
- Slower experiences,
- Higher energy consumption,
- Greater environmental impact,
- And an endless race to the bottom on price. In the end, nobody wins: users, businesses, and not even the planet.
What is The LProject?
The LProject was created to break this cycle.
It’s an open-source framework built on Next.js, optimized for Vercel, designed to bring structure, performance, and sustainability into web development.
The difference lies in its purpose: not just delivering a functional page, but ensuring that page is lighter, faster, and up to 96% less polluting in CO₂ emissions than traditional solutions like WordPress or Magento.
This commitment is backed by the certification seal:
✔️ SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY — BUILT WITH UP TO 96% LESS CO₂ EMISSIONS
Why Open Source?
By open-sourcing The LProject, I’m making a clear statement:
- The code itself is not the final value.
- The value lies in the architecture, the sustainability seal, the user experience, and the product vision behind it.
Open source allows anyone to use, test, and contribute to the framework. And for those seeking differentiation, the true advantage remains in what cannot be commoditized: design expertise, consulting, and the strategic guidance that leads to real impact.
The Expected Impact
- For society: a lighter, more sustainable web, with reduced emissions and optimized energy use.
- For developers and agencies: a solid foundation that speeds up projects, reduces rework, and ensures consistency.
- For me, as a professional: a way to reinforce my position as both a UX Engineer and a Product Designer — someone who connects experience, engineering, and sustainability into meaningful digital solutions.
Take a look
The LProject is now open and available on GitHub:

If you believe technology can be a force for positive transformation, join me in this initiative. Contribute, test, evolve. Open source only makes sense when it becomes community.
“Code can be open, but purpose cannot be copied.
The LProject is an invitation to build a more sustainable web — together.”
