Every agency's business model is lock-in. Say it out loud and it stops working.
The retainer, the proprietary platform, the domain registered in their name, the hosting only they can log into. It is how a €9,000 site becomes €27,000 over five years. Here is what you own with us, written down so you can hold us to it.
Opened in your name, paid by your card, with us added as a collaborator. Remove us in one click any day you like.
Stays at your registrar, or moves to one in your name if it is currently held by an old agency. We never hold a client's domain.
The code lives in a repository you own from the first commit. Every change is visible, dated and reversible.
Nothing proprietary. The same widely used, well documented tools that thousands of developers work with every day, so anyone can pick it up.
How to change the words, add a product, read the analytics, restore a backup, and who to ring for what. Written for the person who will actually do it.
After launch, a named person on your side learns the routine jobs with us behind them. After that you decide whether you want a care plan at all.
Enquiries, customers and orders live in infrastructure you own, under a written data-processing agreement. Leave, and nothing needs exporting.
The checks that watch your site report to you as well as to us. Proof that the monitoring is real, not a line on a brochure.
It costs more up front and less over five years
That is the honest shape of it. The pricing page lays the whole five-year number out.
