Who you'll work with.

I'm Matt, a software engineer based in Lincoln. I've spent 10 years building websites and web apps in C# and .NET, including a booking and appointment-reminder platform for clinics and salons, and I've built and run dozens of live websites since.

A lot of that work is public data: sites that track NHS A&E waiting times, NHS dentists taking on patients, hospital waiting lists, driving-test waits and bus timetables. They take messy data from hundreds of sources, keep it up to date every day and present it so people can use it. Getting those sites found on Google is how I learned SEO properly.

I build my own SEO tools too: a site crawler and log-file analyser, a Search Console analytics tool and 2596.org, a searchable guide to the Google ranking documents that leaked in 2024. Lincoln Digital is where I do the same work for Lincolnshire businesses.

Rated by the people the SEO industry listens to

Your SEO, done by someone the SEO world rates.

When 2,596 modules of Google's internal Search documentation leaked in May 2024, Matt Hodson, Lincoln Digital's founder and the person who does our SEO, built 2596.org within days: every module searchable, each with a plain-English overview of what it means for rankings. Two of the most respected names in SEO were recommending it within hours, and the industry's news site was still using it eighteen months later.

What that means for you

The person working on your website reads Google's own documentation, not second-hand advice. That understanding goes into every site we build and every SEO plan we run, for businesses in Lincolnshire.

What we believe.

01

Craft over templates

Every page designed and every line of code written for you. It takes longer. It's worth it.

02

Speed matters

A one-second delay costs enquiries, so we keep pages under a second and test them on real phones.

03

Made in Lincoln

Based in Lincoln, working to a standard that would hold up in any city.

How we work.

There are no account managers here. The people you meet on the first call design and build your website, and they answer the phone afterwards.

Fixed prices
You get one price for the agreed scope before we start. If the scope changes, we talk about it before anything is billed.
Designs in the browser
You see your website working on your own phone before we build the rest of it.
Plain English
Our emails, proposals and invoices are written so anyone can follow them. If we can't explain something simply, we haven't understood it yet.
You own everything
The code, the design files, the domain and the content are yours from day one.
Face to face
We're in Lincoln and happy to come to you anywhere in Lincolnshire. Further afield, video calls work fine.
Here after launch
Care plans, hosting and SEO mean the same team looks after your site for years.

What we build with.

All of our websites are hand-coded in C# and .NET because it's fast, secure and lasts. Everything is C# and .NET: websites and web apps in Blazor, online shops and content editors we build ourselves, and mobile apps in .NET MAUI. Why C# and .NET, not WordPress?

Why Lincoln

Local, and easy to meet.

We're based in Lincoln and most of our clients are within an hour of the city. We can come to your business, see how it works and meet the people who'll use the website.

Being local also means we know the area: the towns, the competition and what people here type into Google. That shows in the work, especially the local SEO.
