Domain Extensions / .design
.design domains
The .design domain is a creative extension for designers, studios, agencies, and anyone whose work is visual or product design. A .design address names the discipline directly, so a designer or studio's brand plus the extension reads clearly as creative work and is easy to remember. Graphic and product designers use it for portfolios, agencies for branded sites, and design communities for showcases, all under a domain built around the craft. Registration is open to anyone worldwide with no restrictions and follows standard yearly terms. Because the word names the profession, it forms clean, on-theme names where a matching .com is often taken, letting a creative secure a fitting address. For an individual designer, a studio, or an agency whose entire value is design, ending the address in .design puts the discipline directly into the web address and frames the site as the work of a maker.
