About
Sims Digital Partners
A small, veteran-owned studio in North Carolina building websites, automation, and custom software for small businesses — and then looking after them, so you don't have to.
What we do
A short list, done properly
We're deliberately small, so we're deliberately narrow. Knowing what we don't take on is what lets us be dependable about what we do.
What we take on
- Websites for small businesses — designed, built, hosted, and kept up to date
- Automating the work you currently do by hand between tools
- Small, focused custom software when off-the-shelf genuinely doesn't fit
What we don't
- Enterprise systems, or projects that need a team of ten
- Ad campaigns, social media management, or content marketing
- Building something you can buy off the shelf — we'll say so and point you there
How we work with you
Things you can hold us to
Being small has one real advantage, and this is it — there's nobody between you and the person doing the work.
You talk to the person who builds it
No account manager, no ticket queue between you and the work. The person who writes your site is the person who answers your email.
Nothing goes live until you're happy
You see it and approve it before it's published. That's true of the first build and of every change after it.
We reply within one business day
Every message gets an answer. Most content changes are live within two business days of you asking.
We'll tell you when you don't need us
If a cheaper tool solves your problem, we'd rather say so than sell you a build. That's cost us work before and we'd do it again.
No contract
The terms, up front
No contract, no setup fee, and nothing that only turns up later on an invoice. This is the whole arrangement.
- Month to month
- No contract and no minimum term. Cancel any time; we'd rather earn it every month.
- No upfront build fee
- On a Managed plan the design and build are included in the monthly price. You don't write a four-figure cheque to get started.
- Your domain stays yours
- It's registered in your name, not ours, and it stays yours whether you're with us or not.
- Or buy it outright
- Prefer to own the site itself rather than have us run it? We'll quote the buyout, and then it's yours to take anywhere.
Who you'll work with
Cody Sims, founder
Sims Digital Partners is a veteran-owned studio, and I run it. I build the sites, I host them, and I'm the one who answers when you email — which is the whole reason the commitments above are possible to make.
Before this I served four years in the United States Marine Corps as an infantry rifleman, and spent several years as an independent insurance agent working with clients directly. That second stretch is the more relevant one: it's where I learned that most of this job is listening properly and then following through on exactly what you said you'd do.
I hold a B.S. in Information and Cybersecurity Operations, which is the part that matters when your site is handling customer enquiries and your business depends on it staying up and staying secure.
