What happens at launch
It goes live, and you own it: the code and the content are yours, under the terms agreed at the start. Ask for the source at any point and you get it — during the build, at launch, or two years later.
By default it runs on our hosting and our accounts. That is a deliberate choice rather than an administrative one: when something breaks, it gets fixed directly, instead of waiting on a login or a permission that only you can grant.
If you would rather it ran on your own hosting, in your own accounts, say so and that is what we do — with everything handed over, source code included. The honest trade is that nothing can then be touched without you in the loop first, so a fix starts with a request for access rather than with the fix.
Third-party pieces — themes, plugins, fonts, stock photography — come with their own licences and are licensed to you rather than transferred. Which ones a project uses is listed before you approve it, never discovered afterwards.
You get shown how to change the things you will want to change: text, images, prices, opening hours, posts. The goal is that routine updates never require calling us.
Two things you agree to at the start rather than hear about at launch: the site carries a DEV AIO SOFT LLC credit line in its footer, and once you are live we may show the project as published work — named, linked and described — on our Work page. Anything you have not launched stays off our site until you go live.
