At Wemaxa.com, we understand that owning your project fully is not just a preference it’s a necessity. That’s why our approach to source files is transparent and client-first. Once your design project is completed and paid for, you receive access to all the editable source files used throughout the process. This includes files created in tools like Figma, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or other platforms depending on your project’s needs. Our goal is to ensure that you walk away with everything required to manage, edit, or expand your digital presence without restriction.
We believe that your brand should remain in your hands. Whether you plan to work with a different team in the future or simply want to have the option to make your own updates, having full access to your original design files gives you the flexibility to evolve. It also means you’re not locked into a single provider for every small change or revision. You can reuse elements for marketing, print, social media, or even future product launches without having to start from scratch.
This level of access is not something all studios provide by default. In fact, some design agencies retain control over source files or require additional payment to release them. We recommend asking this question early when working with any creative partner. Knowing what you’re entitled to helps avoid unexpected limitations later. It’s your project you should have the freedom to use it however you see fit.
At Wemaxa, we value long-term partnerships, not dependencies. Our clients stay with us because they trust the process, appreciate the transparency, and feel empowered by the work we deliver. By handing over full control of your design assets, we ensure you have the creative independence to grow confidently. Whether you continue working with us or not, your files are yours to keep, modify, and use across every platform where your brand lives.
