Clear Cut Digital

Based in Manchester, New Hampshire, Clear Cut Digital is a small, in-house team that builds custom websites for small businesses across the United States. Rather than relying on WordPress or site builders, the agency codes sites directly in HTML, CSS, and minimal JavaScript, working with clients such as a local live band, a vehicle detailing company operating in Vermont and Connecticut, and a childcare center with two locations. Owner and developer Zack Hodgdon leads the design and development work, with support handled directly by the team that builds each site rather than through outsourced channels. Services center on custom web design paired with search engine optimization, delivered under a flat monthly rate that includes unlimited updates, hosting, and a complimentary full redesign every three years. Sites are built mobile-first and tested across real devices, including phones, tablets, laptops, and wide monitors, with a focus on load times the agency states fall within one second and PageSpeed Insights scores of 96–100. SEO work includes on-page optimization, keyword research aimed at local search behavior, and LocalBusiness Schema formatting to support local search visibility. The agency holds Semrush SEO certification and describes its design choices as based on conversion and analytics data rather than templated layouts. Support is offered by phone, text, or email directly with the developers, and the agency states it offers a full refund if a client is not satisfied with a presented design.
