Who Owns My WordPress Website?
When your website is built on self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org), you generally own:
- The structure and codebase of your website (especially if it was custom-developed for you)
- The content you created or supplied (such as written text and branding)
- The domain name (if registered under your name or business)
- Access to your WordPress dashboard and hosting account
What You May Not Automatically Own:
It’s important to note that not every asset used in your website is necessarily owned by you:
- Logos, images, and copy provided by third parties (or by the client) may be subject to external ownership or licensing.
- Stock photos, fonts, or plugin content often carry commercial use rights but remain owned by the original creator.
- If assets were supplied by you (the client), you are responsible for ensuring proper licensing or ownership.
As a WordPress developer, A7Designs ensures you have full access and control over your website setup. However, we cannot provide guarantees regarding the licensing or copyright of assets not created or licensed by us.
We recommend reviewing all third-party content you intend to use and maintaining proper documentation for ownership or usage rights.
