Yes. Code ownership is a core principle of how we work.
What you get
From day one, you have the complete source code for your website in a private Git repository (the industry-standard, versioned home for source code). This includes:
- All Next.js components and pages
- Your design system and global styles
- Content files (Markdown)
- Configuration files (next.config.ts, tsconfig.json, etc.)
- Deployment setup
This covers your website's code. The AI agents and automation that build and maintain the site are webentity's own infrastructure and not part of the handover.
What "owning the code" means in practice
- No platform dependency. The code is standard Next.js. Any developer can work with it.
- No feature gates. You're not locked into our dashboard or proprietary formats.
- No content hostage. Your content lives in plain text files you own, not in a proprietary database only we can export.
- Leave anytime. Cancel, take your website's source code, and host it yourself or with another team. We'll help with the handover.
What happens if you leave
You keep everything: the source code, the content, the domain. The site continues to run on Vercel (or wherever you choose to host it). You'll need to take over maintenance, but the codebase is clean and well-structured for any developer to pick up.
Why we do it this way
We believe the best client relationships are built on value, not lock-in. If you stay, it's because webentity is genuinely useful, not because leaving is painful.
