About.
Ayup! My name’s Mike Hindle. I’m a WordPress sustainability professional and the owner here at Clearcut Derby. We recently celebrated 11 years in business.
I specialise in low-carbon websites that achieve maximum online presence with minimal environmental impact. We launched in 2014 as a small print marketing team, and gradually transformed into a fully digital service.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Efficiency and sustainability are at the heart of everything we design, build, or maintain. All of our websites are powered by 100% green, renewable energy.
In addition to sustainable web design, we donate 1% of our revenue towards funding the next generation of carbon removal technologies via Stripe. We also plant trees at the end of each year with the good folks at Treeapp.
The Clearcut Derby website is cleaner than 95% of all web pages globally. It’s rated an A+ and only produces 0.06 grams of carbon with each page load.

About Our Services
Our initial print and distribution service connected us with some rather lovely clients, including Toyota, The National Trust and Pure Gym. As Clearcut Derby transitioned into a digital agency, Leaflet Lion took over our print campaigns.
Our sister business, Leaflet Lion, is a fully dedicated print and distribution service covering Nottingham, Mansfield, Derby and Burton-on-Trent.
This allowed for Clearcut Derby to focus on a range of digital services based on my 11 years of experience designing, building and maintaining websites.
Working With Mike & Clearcut Derby
I operate as efficiently as possible with minimal overheads, meaning I can charge a little less than most bigger agencies. Although I have a few seasoned freelancers to call upon when needed, it’s me who you’ll deal with directly.
I’m big on fast, clear and concise communication. I aim to respond to any enquiries within an hour from 8am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
I’m hugely passionate about building faster, greener and cleaner websites. I work exclusively with WordPress block themes and the block editor.
This provides a much calmer dashboard and working environment. Additionally, the block editor is popular with enterprise-level businesses. We’ll be using the exact same tools on your website. Drop me an email for a demo.
