Write for Us

The CodeLive Studio blog publishes practical, human-written guides about HTML, CSS and JavaScript — and we invite developers, designers and technical writers to contribute. If you can explain a concept with a working example, we would like to read your pitch.

What we publish

We look for articles that make front-end development genuinely easier to understand. The bar is simple: a reader should finish your article able to do something they could not do before, ideally by pasting your example straight into the editor.

  • Beginner-friendly tutorials for HTML, CSS and JavaScript
  • Productivity deep-dives: editor workflows, Emmet, debugging habits, keyboard-first editing
  • Explainers that untangle confusing concepts: color systems, layout, the DOM, events
  • Honest tool comparisons and workflow write-ups from real projects
  • Case studies: how you fixed a specific bug or built something small and interesting

The rules (please read before pitching)

These keep the blog useful for readers and fair for writers:

  • Original content only — we check every submission against plagiarism and AI-text detectors; republished or spun articles are rejected
  • 800+ words with at least one runnable code example the reader can try in a live editor
  • Clear, human voice — explain like a helpful senior colleague, not a documentation dump
  • Correct and current — test your code before submitting and keep syntax up to date
  • One or two relevant links maximum inside the body (to your own useful resource or a canonical reference); the author bio may include one profile link
  • No gambling, crypto hype, essay mills, adult content or thin 'SEO articles' — these waste everyone's time

What you get

Every accepted article is published with a full author byline and short bio, which means a real byline credit on a growing developer blog with a dofollow link to your profile or site. You keep the right to republish elsewhere after 30 days with a canonical note. As the site's readership grows, accepted authors are first in line for paid writing commissions and long-term contributor spots.

We edit lightly for clarity and consistency — you always see and approve the final version before it goes live.

How to pitch

Send an email to [email protected] with "Guest post pitch" in the subject line. Include: the working title, a three-sentence summary, an outline of the main sections, links to two writing samples (published anywhere — a blog, GitHub README, Dev.to post all count), and the author name plus short bio you want published.

We reply to every serious pitch within a few business days — usually with a go-ahead, a suggestion to angle it differently, or an honest no. Accepted drafts are typically published within two weeks of final edits.
