Project terms
All projects require a 50% deposit before work begins. The remaining 50% balance is due once the project is completed and approved, before the finished project is launched or released.
Additional features or work outside the original agreed project scope may affect the final price and timeline. Any additional charges will be discussed and approved before that work is performed.
Third-party services, premium software, domain registrations, or other external costs are not included unless specifically stated in the project agreement.

How it works.
Tell me what you need
We talk about your business, the problem you’re trying to solve, and what you want to improve.
Project scope & quote
I outline what I’m building, what’s included, pricing and the estimated timeline.
50% deposit
The project is scheduled and development begins.
Design & development
I build the project, test it and make the agreed revisions.
Approval, final payment & launch
Once everything is approved, the remaining balance is paid and the finished project is launched or delivered.

Most standard business websites are completed within approximately 2–4 weeks after the deposit and required materials are received. Larger websites, software, automation and advanced integrations may require additional time and will receive their own estimated timeline.
04 / A REAL PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
Who is behind
Watkins Digital?
Cody WatkinsINDEPENDENT DEVELOPER · WATKINS DIGITAL
My name is Cody Watkins. I’ve spent years teaching myself how to build websites, programs, plugins, automation tools, and other software.
A lot of what I’ve built started because I had an idea, needed something that didn’t already exist, or simply wanted to figure out how something worked.
My previous work ranges from business and e-commerce websites to technology-focused platforms.
Watkins Digital is my way of putting those skills to work for businesses that need websites, software and technology built around the way they work.
I don’t only build websites — if a business has a problem that software or automation can solve, that’s the kind of project I want to hear about.
I’m keeping things intentionally small so I can actually work directly with the businesses I build for instead of treating every project like another number.
REAL WORK
Websites I’ve Built
A few real projects I’ve designed and developed. Different businesses have different needs, so I build each project around what it’s actually supposed to accomplish.
Business Website / Custom Apparel
The Spartan Factory
A custom apparel business website bringing team gear, printing services, and online team stores into one clear experience.
Technology / Trading Platform
Nexus Signal
A technology-focused website introducing a trading-signal platform through clear product information and a data-led visual interface.
REAL PROJECTS. REAL CODE. BUILT BY ME.
SOFTWARE & CUSTOM TOOLS
Software & Tools I’ve Built
Not everything I build is a website. I’ve also built desktop software, audio tools and workflow automation to solve specific problems that existing tools didn’t handle the way I wanted.
Desktop Software / Workflow Automation
Ableton Sample Auto Tagger
A purpose-built desktop application for analyzing and organizing large sample libraries, including BPM and key analysis, review tools and Ableton workflow integration.
Audio Software / VST3 Plugin
BASS ARMY KNIFE
A custom bass-music production plugin combining sound design, processing, movement, spatial tools and creative effects in one purpose-built interface.
