Imprint 001 · Ownership & IP

You own
everything.

Code, design files, domain, hosting account, admin login. Transferred into your name on final payment — in writing, on paper. This page is the plain-English version of what’s in the contract.

The short answer

i. Source code, in your repo.
ii. Domain + hosting in your accounts.
iii. Full IP. No royalties, no fees.
iv. Plain-English contract. Sample below.

Bill of sale · six items

What transfers.

On final payment, each of these moves from us to you. In writing, confirmed by email, on paper if you ask.

i Source code

Full repo on GitHub or your provider of choice. Transferred to your org on final payment.

ii Content

Copy, images, files, exports. Yours during the build, yours after — no platform export limits.

iii Design files

Figma source, original artwork, fonts (where licences permit). Handed over with the repo.

iv Domain

Registered in your name from day one. We never sit between you and the registrar.

v Hosting account

Your account, your billing card. We help set it up; we don't operate it as a middle layer.

vi Admin access

Custom admin login is yours, not ours. We retain a developer login for support only — revocable any time.

What happens on final payment

The handover.

01
Repo transfer
Final pay · Day 0

We move the repo into your GitHub org (or any provider). Branch protection, deploy keys, your CI — all yours.

02
Docs + README
Final pay · Day 0

Setup, deploy, edit — written for a non-developer. Lives in the repo so it's never lost.

03
Async walkthrough
Final pay · Day 1

One Loom recording, ~10 minutes, walking through the admin + code. So your next dev or studio isn't starting cold.

04
Care optional
Day N onwards

Maintenance is a separate, opt-in agreement. Not part of the transfer, not a condition of it.

If you came from a builder

What’s different this time.

Hosted builders — AI tools, drag-and-drop, template platforms — are great for sketching. Less great for owning. Side-by-side reality:

Item
On a builder
WDT
Source code
Locked to the platform
Yours · full repo
Domain registration
Theirs first, often
Yours · day one
Hosting account
Their account
Your account
Content export
CSV if you're lucky
Standard formats
Move to another host
Rebuild from scratch
Deploy as-is
Monthly platform fee
Forever
None
Custom design
Within their templates
Whatever you brief

If you’ve already built something on a builder of any kind — AI or otherwise — and want it ported, say so in the brief. We read the export and rebuild the parts worth keeping.

Plain English · four lines

The contract, demystified.
i. All intellectual property in the site, code, and design transfers to you on final payment.
ii. No royalties, no usage fees, no per-seat charges. You don't pay us again to use it.
iii. You can sell the business, fork the code, rebrand, or shut the site down — without asking.
iv. We retain one right only: to list it in our portfolio. You can opt out at any time, in writing.
