Concepts behind this area
Royalty-Free
Royalty-free is a pricing arrangement in which one payment replaces the per-copy, per-view and per-year fees a licence could otherwise charge, and it decides nothing else about how the asset may then be used.
Web Template
A web template is a pre-built layout sold as permission to use it in one end product, delivered either as flat files you adapt or as a theme wired into a content management system and its release cycle.
Design System
A design system is a versioned set of tokens, coded components and usage rules that a team builds interfaces from, so an interface decision is made once and then imported rather than redrawn on every screen.
