A fixed-price project, not an indefinite subscription.
Your project receives one agreed total price. Instead of paying the full amount as a single upfront invoice, the price is divided across a fixed number of monthly payments.
Development begins once the agreement is signed and the recurring payment arrangement is active. Payments then continue according to the agreed schedule until the complete project price has been paid.
- Same total price as paying upfront
- One fixed total project price
- A defined number of monthly instalments
- A written scope of work
- A fixed payment schedule

Built toward ownership
You are not renting the finished product forever.
We retain ownership of the bespoke deliverables while project payments remain outstanding. Once the project has been delivered, you may use it under licence while the payment plan remains up to date.
After the final payment and any remaining balance have been paid, ownership of the bespoke deliverables transfers to you.
During the payment term
You can use the delivered website or software while payments remain up to date.
After final payment
Ownership of the agreed bespoke deliverables transfers to you.
Items that do not transfer
Pre-existing Mallinson and Wright tools, reusable components, frameworks and third-party software remain subject to their existing ownership and licence terms.
Traditional project payment versus monthly project payments
Traditional project payment
- A large proportion of the cost is normally paid upfront or during development
- Higher immediate cash requirement before the project is delivered
- Deposit or milestone payments due before you see the finished product
- Cash-flow pressure when a single invoice lands at once
Mallinson and Wright payment plan
- One fixed total project price
- Cost divided into agreed monthly instalments
- Bespoke scope and delivery
- Ownership transfers after final payment
- No indefinite development subscription
What the payment plan does and does not promise
What it provides
- A bespoke development project
- A defined written scope
- A fixed total project price
- A predictable monthly payment schedule
- A clear ownership path
- Direct access to the development team
What it does not guarantee
- Google rankings
- Website traffic
- Leads or enquiries
- Sales, revenue or commercial success
A website or software product can support business growth, but performance also depends on the company's offer, market, traffic, marketing, sales process, operations and ongoing use of the product.
