In Brazil's growing tech and design industry, particularly in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, 'design estático' is a standard term used in design briefs and discussions. The distinction between static and dynamic design has become increasingly important with the rise of UX/UI practices. In Portugal, the term is used similarly but may be less frequently discussed as a specific category. In the US, this terminology is standard in design and development communities, reflecting the evolution from traditional graphic design to digital and interactive design practices.
