Our style
(tl;dr edition)

1. Write in a casual and personal yet knowledgeable style, as if you were talking to a friend.
2. Aim for clarity above wit, though you get extra points for managing both.
3. Be concise when you can. Don’t bury the lede.
4. Use subheads, images, lists, blockquotes, and other structural devices frequently to make your story easily skimmable and engaging.

And please keep in mind:

You must have the right to use any image you include, and each image should include a caption. Make sure your graphics included actually support your point(s), and aren't just there for decoration. 

No selling of your product, please! Make the focus more about the value your post can impart, or simply the story itself. 

Don’t send us content that you’ve already posted somewhere else. And definitely don’t copy someone else’s work.

Questions to ask yourself before submitting

Who’s your audience?

We publish content for creative professionals, agencies, and entrepreneurs who build websites and digital products. Your post should appeal to one or more of these audiences.

What will readers get out of your article? Why should they read it?

We publish content that’s useful and/or inspiring. Ideally, it’ll be both. If your article doesn’t educate or inspire creative pros, no shade, but it’s not for us.

How will readers act on your article?

What will readers do with what you teach them? Explain how they can put your tips into action.

Ready to submit?

We have two forms: one for blog article submissions and one for featured site submissions. Please make sure you submit to the correct one.

Please note: We only look at drafts in the form of Google Docs. And — although we wish we could chat with everyone — due to the volume of submissions we get, you'll only hear back from us if we want to move forward.
