What’s With the Name?
Our business name, Ecopixel, combines two areas of interest and expertise: environmental stewardship and web technology. Company founder Paul Hansen earned a degree in natural resources planning and also immersed himself in Web technology, photography and all things with “pixels.” That's why Ecopixel builds and supports websites for nonprofits and municipalities — the organizations that make our communities worth living in.
