Write for us

The Art of Frontend is a publication for qualitative articles on Frontend-related content. This could be on HTML/CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Frameworks, Build tools, Unit Tests, etc.

We do think it’s important that a topic adds value to the community. There is a lot of content out there that has been shared repetitively such as ES6 features or the very basics of using HTML/CSS. Also please make sure your content is not outdated before submitting it. This could be about features of an older version of a framework or library for example.

That being said, if you feel your article can contribute to our community please go ahead and submit it.

Style Guide

• Take some time to write a compelling title and subtitle. Ask yourself the question if you would want to read an article based on the title/subtitle.
• Don’t create weird formats for headings. Keep them simple or numbered. Don’t use parenthesis, colons, arrows, hashtags, or other special characters to format them.
• Include at least one image. Otherwise, there is no featured image. Make sure that you have the right to use this image.
• Make sure images, especially the featured image, are relevant to the post.
• Make sure to add alt-text and captions to images where they are relevant.
• Make sure your article is well-formatted with an introduction, conclusion, headings, lists and that the content is clear and easy to read and understand by readers.
• Capitalize the start of every sentence and use proper punctuation. Make sure you use commas in the right places, end sentences with a period, and format lists properly.
• Please, don’t use emojis 😃.
• Don’t include double spaces or any spaces between a word and punctuation.
• Please don’t start your sentences with a super-large letter. It distracts from the content.
• Please don’t use blockquotes, the formatting distracts from the content.
• Please don’t repeat punctuation marks like question marks and exclamation marks.

Can I promote products/services in my content?

If you are promoting your own newsletter, social media channels or a free or open-source service feel free to do so. If you are promoting a paid service or are using affiliate links please make sure your content is not biased based on a commission. We want to make sure this publication adds value and doesn’t become a commercial bulletin board of sorts.

If in doubt, please reach out to an editor about the promotion.
