Own your website in 12 months —
not a subscription for life.
Pay like a subscription. Own like an investment.
A simple monthly subscription for 12 months. After that, the full source code is transferred to your GitHub — yours to keep, host anywhere, edit with any developer. No SaaS lock-in, no big upfront cheque.
SaaS platforms, agencies, or Darb?
| Platforms (Wix, Shopify…) | Traditional agency | Darb | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Monthly subscription — forever | Large upfront payment | Fixed monthly instalment for 12 months |
| Do you own the site after a year? | No — leave and you lose it all | Yes — but only after a big cheque | Yes — full source code after 12 months |
| Source code | Locked to their platform | Yours after final payment | Delivered to your GitHub after 12 months |
| Hosting | Bundled — can't leave | Yours to arrange | Included year 1 · optional after |
| Editing later | Limited to their editor | Needs a developer | Any developer, any tool — it's your code |
| Cash-flow impact | Small monthly, endless | One big cheque before you start | Monthly for a year, then owned |
The trap on the left keeps you paying forever. The trap on the right blocks your cash flow before you even see a demo. Darb is in the middle by design.
Three moves, twelve months, one owner.
Same flow whether you pick a marketing site, an e-commerce store, or store + mobile app.

The questions we get most.
Do I really own the source code after 12 months?
Yes. Once the 12th monthly instalment clears, we transfer the full repository to your GitHub organisation — code, database schema, deployment config, everything. You can hire any developer to modify it, host it anywhere, or hand it off to your own team.
How does payment work? Which countries do you accept?
A simple monthly subscription on card — the same one-click experience you get with any global SaaS. Any Visa, Mastercard, mada, or Apple Pay works. We work with clients worldwide, with focus on Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Iraq, Syria and Egypt. Currency conversion from your local card is automatic, so you pay whatever your bank displays that day.
What if I cancel before month 12?
You cancel with one message — no phone calls, no forms. What you've paid so far covers what you've used and the site stays live under our hosting until the end of the last paid billing cycle. Ownership transfer only happens after the 12th instalment; earlier cancellations don't include code delivery. If you want to keep the code and cancel early, pay out the remaining instalments in one go and we transfer ownership that week.
What's included in the monthly instalment?
Design, development, hosting, SSL, domain assistance, security updates, and reasonable minor edits during the year (copy changes, image swaps, small layout tweaks). Bigger scope changes are quoted separately.
What about hosting after the 12 months?
Optional. You can stay on our managed hosting for a small monthly fee (varies by traffic and package), or take the code and host it anywhere — DigitalOcean, AWS, Vercel, your own server. It's yours.
What if I want to speed up ownership?
Pay the remaining instalments as a lump sum any time and we transfer the code that week. No penalty, no lock-in.
Who builds the site?
Darb Productions in Riyadh — the same team that has served 500+ Saudi clients since 2012. All work is in-house. No handoff to overseas subcontractors.
How long until the site goes live?
Marketing sites go live in 3–5 weeks. E-commerce stores in 6–8 weeks. Store + app in 10–12 weeks. Live means public — you keep paying instalments through month 12 and take the code once that final instalment clears.
What tech stack do you use?
Modern, standard stacks that any developer can pick up: Next.js / React for the frontend, Node.js for the backend, PostgreSQL or MongoDB, React Native for mobile apps. No proprietary lock-in — everything you receive on GitHub is portable.
