If I made a website for someone online, how does that person take the ownership of the website after it’s done?
Let’s say you ask me to make you a website. After I’m done making it, how are you gonna take the ownership of the website?

Ginfio most users will not ask for the source code, they want the website done and hosted.
If someone asks you for the source code, then they already know how to copyright it maybe, and they already know how to host websites, so your work is done.
However, most of times you are required to upload the website online, and get a domain name, and maybe get the copyright (I'm not sure about copyright as I said, so you gotta look it up, and how it works)

Ginfio don't be misleaded by what he said, there is no such thing lol.
When you make a website, you should usually copyright it to prove that it yours.
After you copyright the website, you should both have an agreement to transfer the copyright to the person who hired you.
I don't know how all of this works, but I know it's nothing like what has been said. Good luck!
EDIT: why would anyone care what tools you use to make that website ? What matters is the final source code, and the actual hosted website. Everything else is just minor details

💜 Alex Tusinean 🍇 yes, most of times it is your job to upload the website online, and get a domain name for the website. However, just like you thought, the person who hired you should handle the prices of hosting and domain name, because your job is to code the website itself, and that's what you get paid for.
Updating the website depends on them also, sometimes they'll want you to keep track of your work and handle any further updates if needed, and that is the preffered way because it is easier for you to update it if you wrote the code, than reading it from the beginning and modifying it.
And sometimes, they'll want to keep the authentication for themselves, so they'll ask for authentication to the host and the domain name provider, so it can later be modifed by someone, who doesn't have to be you.

Hello. I’m a lawyer in NY. Prior to even beginning work, you should write a contract with your client that explains who will own the copyright in the completed code and text. This should be the client. Even if you host the code on behalf of the client, the client should always have access to that code and have the sole control over what happens with it. Your work is as a freelancer and the work created is known as a “work made for hire”. More info: monroemannlaw.com

That is a great question. I have been wondering that too for quite a time.
When you make a website for someone, do you need to upload it online? (the customer pays, I suppose?)
If the customer wants something to be changed after the website is done, is the one who made the website the one who has to make the changes? (like... having a website with news and there are daily new things to be added)

Nikhil I don't know anything about how copyright, apart from their existence, so I don't want to give false information.
You can make a new post in sololearn, and maybe some experts will help you find your answer, and explain it in a clear way.
