Ownlar
liveWebsites and custom systems on subscription, with a path to owning them.
Small businesses get a site — or a system built around how they actually work — with no upfront cost: it ships before the first invoice. Part of each month becomes credit against a buyout price that is always visible, so leaving is a priced, ordinary move instead of a negotiation.
What I built
- Designed the commercial model: subscription, credit accrual, a 50% cap, and what happens on cancellation.
- Wrote the append-only ledger that computes each site's buyout value from its own entries.
- Built delivery and refund flows around a regret window, so a paid buyout can be undone cleanly.
- Build and host the work, and run the deploy pipeline behind it.
