Myself and one other person co-created a website for a freelancing artist. For simplicity I mean that I purely developed the site code whilst the domain and hosting setup and content were created by the other creator.

Who, in effect, owns the intellectual property here? Or does the person that the site was created for own rights to the site and content once it has been declared 'live'?
