Will I own the website once it’s built?
Yes, once the development is complete and full payment is made, you should have complete ownership of your website. This includes the source code, design elements, content, and any assets that were developed specifically for your brand.
A transparent web development company will include ownership clauses in the contract to ensure clarity. They will also provide you with all files, access credentials, and documentation you need for ongoing maintenance or future upgrades.
Having full ownership is essential for control, security, and future scalability. Be sure to clarify this point before starting a project to avoid any licensing or legal complications.
