Designer programme
Send us something you made: a template, a design, a live site. If we take it, we rebuild it as a Thanor entry, which means we write the build prompt and produce all the media that goes with it. We pay you for the design, and in exchange you license it to us for the library. The work stays yours.
The programme is open to subscribers, and we cannot see a plan while you are signed out. Sign in and this line will tell you where you stand. If your plan is on a different address than the one you write from, put it in the last field of the form and we will match it up.
Sign inSee the plansFour steps, and the only one that is yours is the first. We do the rebuilding, the writing and the media.
One piece of work you made, and a few sentences about it. The form takes a link and nothing else. No files, no archive, no source.
What decides it is whether the direction is specific enough to be rebuilt from a prompt: a real palette, a type scale that holds, motion with intent, a structure worth copying.
In writing, with you, and before anything is built or handed over. What we pay and what the licence covers are settled there, because they are not settled here.
We write the build prompt, capture the design in motion, cut the poster frame and file it under a category. Then it is in the library with everything else.
The flag on each one says whether it is fixed for everybody or agreed with you, so you can scan the page and still come away with the right picture.
One link to work you made, plus a few sentences on what you would contribute. That is the entire application.
We do not want files at this stage and the form has nowhere to put them. A link is enough to decide with, and sending source before anybody has agreed anything is a bad habit for you and a liability for us. If it gets as far as needing the real thing, we ask then, and there are terms in writing by that point.
We rebuild it as a Thanor entry. An entry is two things: an animated capture of the design in motion, which is what the library grid shows, and a build prompt, which is the thing a subscriber actually takes.
The prompt is long, we write it, and it carries the direction rather than your markup: palette with hex values, a type scale, motion with named curves and real durations, a section by section structure. Subscribers paste it into Claude, Cursor, Lovable or Bolt and build a site in that direction. They never receive your code, because we never ask for your code.
There is no price list, and that is the policy rather than a gap we have not filled. What a design is worth depends on what it is, how much of it we can use and how much work it saves us, so a single published figure would be wrong in both directions on the same day.
What is fixed is that it is paid: not credited, not exposure, not a free plan. The figure and the timing are agreed with you in writing, for that design, before you hand anything over. Applying starts that conversation and commits you to nothing.
The shape is settled: it is a licence, not a sale. You keep the work and you keep using it. What we would be buying is the right to use it in the library, which in practice means subscribers may read the prompt we write from it and build their own sites in that direction, client work included, because every Thanor plan allows client work.
The text is settled with you: whether it is exclusive, how long it runs, whether you can withdraw it later, and what happens to entries already built if you do. Those are answered in writing with the one designer in front of us, alongside the figure, rather than by a term sheet that has to fit everybody.
Not today, and this one is checkable rather than a matter of intent. A library entry carries a title, a category, a preview and the prompt. There is no designer field, no byline on the card, and no page that lists who made what.
Putting your name on an entry is a change to the product, not a setting somebody switches on, and we have not made it. So do not apply for the credit. If credit matters to you, say so in the form and it becomes part of the same conversation as the rate.
You keep everything, because nothing moved. We take no licence, we build nothing, we publish nothing, and your work is exactly where it was.
What we do keep is the application: your name, your address, your link and what you wrote, sitting in a queue. There is no automated reply on this form, so no confirmation email arrives, and an answer either way comes from a person. We are not going to promise you a reply inside a number of days we have never tested.
Five fields, one of them optional. It takes a few minutes and it commits you to nothing.
Before deciding whether your work belongs in it, go and look at what an entry actually is. The library is browsable by anyone, account or not, and the designs marked free open in full, prompt included. That is the clearest answer to what we would do with yours.
