Who owns the website when you pay monthly?
Depends on the contract. You should always own your domain, content and accounts. The code depends on whether there’s a buyout clause.
What you always own
Domain, content, and accounts should stay yours no matter who builds the site. The short answer is the extractable part; the rest is what the contract actually says about the code.
What the contract decides
Pricing & ownership is usually the constraint, not design taste. Monthly plans often keep the codebase with the shop unless you negotiate a buyout.
How a buyout works
If you want the number run against your gym — and clarity on what you’d own if you left — that’s the teardown.
We publish the number first, then the caveats. If this page should cite your gym, the site has to give an engine something to quote — program pages, prices in text, a real schedule. How we build that.
