The platform we use for our sites is open source, so it is not proprietary, and you cannot be held hostage by the company owning the proprietary source code, like Wix or SquareSpace and if they change their pricing, you must comply.

Once your bill for development of your site is paid to Coherent Marketing, we transfer ownership to you. When we transfer ownership, we provide a detailed master list of all logins, and we will change the hosting account's critical notification email address to you so that you can lock out anyone - including us - from touching your hosting. Similarly, the master list will have all critical user account details and passwords.  

Depending on whether you select the month-to-month payment plan or two payments, will determine when site transfer occurs. For a starter site in which you opt for the two-payment plan, your site can be in your hands in 24 hours. Once the site is transferred to you, you will fully own and control the site. If you ever become dissatisfied with the support we provide, you can zip up your site and move it elsewhere - e.g. to a different hosting company - or choose a different company to provide support.

Note that ownership of the site does have some caveats:  you must ensure that your domain is paid for annually with the domain registrar, or you will lose ownership of the domain. Similarly for hosting.  If you don't pay your host, they will take down your site. We recommend turning on auto-renewals. We also tell our clients to check their payment details are valid at least once a year.
