About Me
I'm Jacob. I Build Websites That Get Local Businesses Found.
Driftline Digital is me — Jacob Hedtke, a web developer based near Uhrichsville and Dennison, Ohio. When you hire me, you work with me: I answer the phone, I build the site, and I'm the one you call afterward. For folks nearby, I also sort out computer and tech headaches in person.
My Story
How I Got Here
-
Building Real Websites for Real Businesses
I've built and launched websites for real Ohio businesses and campaigns. Every site works great on any device and is designed to do a job: more calls, more visits, and more customers finding you.
-
Working Smarter Without Cutting Corners
I use AI tools as part of how I work — not as a substitute for skill, but to move faster and smarter. Real hands-on knowledge means I know exactly what to verify and what to trust.
-
Repair, Build, and Troubleshoot
I've built PCs from scratch, removed viruses, recovered locked accounts, and diagnosed hardware failures. If something's wrong with a computer, I can usually figure out why and fix it.
-
CompTIA A+ Certification
I'm currently working toward the CompTIA A+, the industry-standard IT certification. More formal knowledge to back up what I already know how to do.
Philosophy
Why I Build the Way I Do
Your Website Has One Job
Making your phone ring. Every decision — layout, words, buttons — serves that. A site that just sits there looking pretty isn't earning its keep.
Your Site, Your Choice
Want to own your website outright? Buy it one-time and every file is yours, no strings attached. Rather skip the upfront cost? My managed plan keeps your site hosted, maintained, and up to date for a monthly fee. Either way, I tell you exactly what you're getting.
Direct Communication
You talk directly to the person building your site. No account managers, no ticket systems, no getting passed around.
Local Roots
I'm based near Uhrichsville and Dennison, close to the communities I build for. I understand local businesses here and what their customers actually want from a website.
What I Do
How I Can Help
Everything you need to get online and stay running, explained in plain English.
Design That Fits Your Business
I design every page around your business so your site looks polished, professional, and credible next to your biggest competitors.
Interactive Features
Menus, photo galleries, contact forms, booking buttons: the parts people tap and click, built to work smoothly on any device.
Getting You Online
I handle the technical side of putting your site live, so it's fast, secure, and always up and running. You don't have to touch a thing.
Computer & Tech Help
Local to me? I also fix slow computers, remove viruses, recover locked accounts, and sort out hardware problems, all in person.
Smart, Modern Tools
I use the latest tools to work faster and smarter, while double-checking everything by hand so the quality always stays high.
Getting Found on Google
I set your site up so the right customers can find you when they search online for what you offer.
