What happens to the site, the code, the data and the accounts?
The code, the design, the content and the database belong to you once the build is paid for.
Running it is a separate, monthly choice: keep it on our stack and we host, patch and check it, or take the repository, the deployment project, the domain and the database into your own accounts at any time. The second one starts when the final invoice clears and we walk it with you — two of the steps need you to accept an invitation in your own account, because nobody can push ownership into an account that has not authorised it. A website that cannot move is not an asset, so the transfer is written down from the start.
