So, let’s begin!

What kind of content gets published in Pimcore Development Hub?

For every submitted article, we’ll try to answer a few questions:

Is the article written for the reader?

Does your article provide useful and actionable advice, a fresh take on an important subject, or a valuable insight into the industry?

Does the article offer a good reading experience?

Is your article well-formatted? Are the beginning, the middle, and the end of the article clearly highlighted? Are you being clear and concise in your writing?

Is the draft unpublished?

To make sure we can schedule content properly and that each article spends a certain amount of time on our front page, Pimcore Development Hub is accepting only unpublished drafts.

Is your article an original one?

If you’re looking to cross-post an article you’ve already published on your personal or company website, that’s completely okay! Make sure all of your submitted content is yours originally and that you’re not resubmitting your past work.

How long is your article?

Generally, we prefer 5+ minute reads, as they tend to perform best on Medium and it helps us make sure that the content you’re submitting is of high quality.

  • Besides the above-mentioned criteria, the subject matter, timing, and volume are also taken into consideration when reviewing the submission.
