Q&A
If I am a website developer – do I own the website that I create for my client?

Answer:

That depends on the terms of your service. Generally, clients would like to own the website that you have created for them, and accordingly, the terms of service would require you to assign all intellectual property rights to the client upon completion. However, for certain items, if you would like to retain ownership, you can provide your clients with a license instead.
