Write for a
better web.

The brief

Good writing makes better websites possible.

Before you send

A few useful answers.

Who can write for Sites Gallery?

Designers, developers, creative technologists, studio founders, researchers, and experienced practitioners are welcome. A useful idea and a clear point of view matter more than the size of your audience.

Do you accept previously published articles?

We look for original, unpublished work written for Sites Gallery. You can build on your previous projects or research, but the article should offer a fresh perspective for our readers.

Can I include links and screenshots?

Yes, when they help explain the story. Credit the creators, link to relevant sources, and use visuals you have permission to publish. Disclose commercial relationships. Promotional, paid, affiliate, and manipulative links are not accepted.

How long should an article be?

Most articles work well between 1,200 and 2,500 words. Let the idea determine the length: a focused tutorial may be shorter, while a detailed case study may need more room.

What should I include in a pitch?

Send one focused idea, the reader it will help, a short outline, and the experience or evidence behind it. Include a relevant writing sample or project if you have one. Please wait for editorial agreement before writing a full draft; a pitch does not guarantee a response or publication.
