## Glossary. Definitional content

Plain-English definitions of common terms in the modern design service market. Each entry has a short definition (1-2 sentences) followed by deeper context, FAQ, and related terms.

- [Subscription design](https://alponi.com/glossary/subscription-design): Subscription design is a service model where clients pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited design requests, delivered one at a time with a fixed turnaround (typically 24-48 hours). It replaces hourly billing, project SOWs, and per-deliverable pricing.
- [Design as a service (DaaS)](https://alponi.com/glossary/design-as-a-service): Design as a Service (DaaS) is the productized delivery of professional design work via predictable subscription or retainer pricing, instead of project-based or hourly billing. It applies the SaaS pricing model to creative services.
- [Fractional design team](https://alponi.com/glossary/fractional-design-team): A fractional design team is a small group of senior designers retained part-time on a recurring monthly basis, providing the output and continuity of an in-house team without the full-time hiring cost. It usually combines a dedicated designer with hour-banked time.
- [Design retainer](https://alponi.com/glossary/design-retainer): A design retainer is a monthly recurring contract that pre-pays for a defined block of designer hours or output capacity, in exchange for guaranteed availability and discounted hourly rates compared to ad-hoc project work.
- [White-label design](https://alponi.com/glossary/white-label-design): White-label design is a service model where a design studio produces work that is delivered to the end client under another company's brand. Typically a marketing or digital agency that lacks in-house design capacity. The end client never knows the work was outsourced.
- [Unlimited graphic design](https://alponi.com/glossary/unlimited-graphic-design): Unlimited graphic design is a subscription model where you pay one flat monthly fee for an unlimited number of design requests and revisions, worked one (or a few) at a time on a queue with a fixed turnaround. "Unlimited" refers to the request count, not simultaneous output.
- [Flat-rate design](https://alponi.com/glossary/flat-rate-design): Flat-rate design (or flat-fee design) is a pricing model where design work is billed at one fixed, predictable amount — most often a flat monthly subscription — rather than by the hour or per project. It removes quotes, scope creep billing, and surprise invoices.
