Who owns the code the freelancer wrote?

Your options, best first

#1 Do it yourself

Agree ownership in writing

  1. Write who owns the deliverables once paid.
  2. Say whether the freelancer reuses any of their own libraries and how.
  3. List open-source components used.
  4. Get the source files, not only the running site.
  5. Keep it in the order or contract.

Safety: Do not assume the platform decides ownership.

Stop and call a pro if: the work is important to your business: have an attorney review the ownership terms.

#2 Instant price check and quote request
