Don't get locked into proprietary agency platforms. Learn who really owns your website domain, source code, design files, and commercial photography.
Your domain name must be registered under your company's name and email address—never the developer's personal account.
Upon final contract payment, you should receive full access to your Git source code repository and static asset files with zero vendor lock-in.
Ensure your contract explicitly grants full commercial rights for all custom photography, drone video, and graphics produced during the project.
Analytics and Search Console properties should be owned by your business account, granting developer access as an admin manager.
Avoid proprietary website builders that refuse to let you export clean HTML/CSS code. Your site should be portable to any modern host.
At FOURAK, upon final contract payment, you own 100% of your custom design, source code, photography, drone video, graphics, and domain access. No hidden exit fees, no hostage clauses, and no proprietary software traps.
