Who is the website domain registered under — the agency's or mine?

Let me summarize the topic, since several different answers were given. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

Hope this helps.

You're right.

There is something to watch out for. When we decide without measuring, we always end up in the same place.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I partly agree, partly disagree. If you don't write this down from the start it leads to arguments later.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Following.

Let me share my experience. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

If you post the result here, it will help others too.

I feel the same way. Implementing a change request process doesn't slow things down, it speeds them up.

Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once. Hope this helps.

I feel the same way. btw if code ownership isnt in the contract you have no bargaining power when leaving.

Of course it varies if your situation is different.

There's a common mistake people make when doing this. If code ownership isn't in the contract, you have no bargaining power when leaving.

If I were you, I'd go this route.

Let me summarize what's been said so far. Hasty decisions become decisions you have to fix six months later.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

I'm a small business, let me explain from my side. Any unwritten clause becomes a point of disagreement later, as both sides remember it differently.

Don't hesitate to ask; those who don't ask always pay more. Good luck with that.

The discussion got scattered, let me summarize. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

This is my opinion, I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

quick summary for newcomers: Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I leared this late.

trying to do this alone is the most expensive way. that's all sorry if I went on too long.

Noted thanks.

The answer above hits the nail on the head. Solutions that work at a small scale collapse when you grow; I learned this late.

Everyone rushing into who owns the domain gets stuck at the same point. That's all sorry if I went on too long.

We experienced almost the exact same thing last year. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

When making a decision, first look at what data you have on hand. Just leaving this note, it might be useful.

Same here.
