Frequently
Asked
Questions.

What is a low-carbon website?

Websites produce carbon each time someone visits one of your pages. This is due to the huge amounts of power required to run the vast number of data centres all over the world.

Sustainable web design is a process that actively reduces the overall weight of the pages on your website. Additionally, loading speeds are optimised and the web host should be powered by green, renewable energy.

Along with plenty of other slightly more technical jargon, this results in a low-carbon website due to significantly decreased energy requirements.

Greener, cleaner digital marketing

Green web hosting means the servers at the data centre where your website lives are powered by green, renewable energy.

As a result, your website will fly through the Green Web check over on The Green Web. Additionally, using a green web host is a key ingredient to improving your score with the Website Carbon Calculator.

All of the websites we build here at Clearcut Derby are powered by green web hosting. We use 20i, one of the fastest, most reliable and established WordPress web hosts in the UK. Your site will be nippy, green, secure and free from downtime.

Who do you work with?

Primarily, businesses and organisations with a physical address in Derby, Derbyshire or Burton-on-Trent. My area of expertise from an online visibility perspective is local SEO.

This means I can help your service-based business grow an organic online presence across the area (or areas) that you serve.

I also love to work with clients who actively want to reduce their environmental impact with a low-carbon website.

If you’re any of the above, let’s talk!

Who will I be working with?

Ayup! My name’s Mike Hindle. It’s me who you’ll work with on any website, SEO and digital sustainability projects.

I’m big on fast, clear and concise communication. During working hours (Mon to Fri – 8am to 4pm), you can usually expect a reply to your email within one hour. I’m also available on the phone when needed.

How does your pricing work?

Digital Marketing Pricing

As a business in a somewhat unsteady economy, I run as efficiently as possible with minimal overheads.

While marketing budgets are being reduced, I’ve adapted with the current landscape to help maximise your online potential while streamlining your outgoings.

For tax year 25/26, my rate is £60 per hour

Clearcut Derby’s digital services are all handled by the business owner, Mike Hindle. Hey, that’s me! I’ve got a small team of freelancers to call upon when needed, but generally speaking, I’m a one-man agency.

This is how I’ve managed to drastically reduce my outgoings and pass the savings directly on to your business.

Do you still offer distribution?

Absolutely! All of our print and distribution jobs are now handled by our sister company, Leaflet Lion.

The same trusted team with over eleven years of experience, but with a new expanded territory.

As well as Derby and Burton-on-Trent, we also now cover Nottingham, Mansfield, Leicester, Loughborough, and pretty much everywhere in between.

Mike is extremely committed and conscientious, and will customise his approach to suit your unique business requirements. He is also tremendously knowledgeable and up-to-date with all the new technological methods of marketing.
