In the British SME landscape, overheads are the enemy of scale. Why let your website be a “dead money” expense?

For most UK entrepreneurs, a website is categorised as a necessary but recurring liability—money spent on design, hosting, and SEO that never yields a residual return. It is a sunk cost. At Webzieh, we believe your digital infrastructure should hold value just like a physical commercial property.

Introducing DEV (Domain Equity Value): A programmatic model designed to convert your professional maintenance into a measurable asset on your company’s balance sheet.

Leasehold vs. Digital Freehold

Traditional web hosting is effectively a commercial leasehold. You pay your monthly rent for the right to occupy a server. If you decide to vacate after five years, you have zero equity in that space. The landlord retains the profit, and you walk away empty-handed.

DEV functions as a Digital Freehold interest. While you use the site to drive customer engagement and sales, a portion of your maintenance cost is stored as equity within the domain. It rewards professional longevity and transforms a standard overhead into a tangible safety net.
