Write for Us Web Development: Web Development Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Most web development pitches read like documentation: a list of frameworks, a claim that every visitor cares about page speed scores, or a walkthrough copied from a changelog. None of that helps a business owner decide whether to rebuild their site or fix what they have. What gets published instead is the decision behind the work: why a site was rebuilt, what broke when it wasn't, what a CMS migration cost in time and money, and what the business owner should watch for next time.

I built and ran businesses long before I wrote about them, so I read this section the way a business owner would, not a developer. My readers are business owners, marketers and agency people who need to make a call on their website and want it explained in plain terms. They are not here for a syntax lesson. They want to know what a slow site costs them and what fixing it involves.

60-second web development guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Does this come from a real web development project, not a general interest in the topic
• Is the outcome something a business owner would care about, such as speed, cost or conversion
• Is it free of code snippets and written for a non technical reader
• Is it original and not published anywhere else first
• Does it avoid promoting one platform, theme or agency by name

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Website rebuilds and redesigns for business owners, with the reasoning behind the decision
• Site speed and performance fixes that changed a real result, such as bounce rate or load time
• CMS choices and migrations: what moved, what broke, what improved
• Working with a web development agency: what to ask, what to check, what to avoid
• Mobile and responsive design decisions that affected real users
• Security basics for business websites, explained for a non technical owner
• Accessibility fixes that changed who could use a site
• E commerce site changes and what they did to conversion or checkout completion
• Website maintenance and what happens when it is skipped

If your post could be published on any web development site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Code snippets, tutorials or anything that reads as developer documentation
• Generic top frameworks or best practices round ups with no real project behind them
• Posts that only exist to promote one platform, theme or plugin
• Previously published content, including your own blog or LinkedIn articles
• Thin content with no specific business outcome or example

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong web development pitch looks like

A weak pitch says I'd love to write a general post about the top web design trends business owners should know. A strong one says I rebuilt a client's site on a faster host and cut their load time from 6 seconds to under 2, and I want to walk through exactly what changed. One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• A specific site rebuild with a before and after result
• A CMS migration story, including what went wrong
• A performance fix tied to a real business metric
• An agency selection story: how a business owner picked and worked with a developer
• A security or accessibility fix that changed who could use the site

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept web development guest posts?

Yes, web development guest posts are accepted on this blog. We look for posts written by people who have built, managed or commissioned real websites, aimed at business owners rather than other developers. The post should explain a decision or a fix and what it changed. Code tutorials, generic trend lists and platform promotion pieces are declined.

What web development topics do you accept?

We accept posts on website rebuilds, CMS choices and migrations, site speed and performance, mobile and responsive design, security basics for business owners, accessibility, e commerce site changes and what happens when a website is left unmaintained. The common thread is a real project with a result a business owner would care about.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it fits naturally and adds value for the reader. We do not publish posts written purely to build a backlink, and we do not link to commercial tools, apps or vendors within the body of the post.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission needs to be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium or LinkedIn. Republished or lightly reworded content is declined, even if you hold the rights to it and even if you update a few lines before sending it over.

How do I submit a web development guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form first, rather than a finished draft. Tell us the specific project or decision behind the post and the result it led to. If it is a fit, we will confirm before you write the full piece, so you are not writing on spec or guessing what we want.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Sponsored posts and commercial partnerships are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a company or agency looking to work together commercially, say so on the contact form and you will get the right details back, rather than being routed through the editorial process.

Do you accept web development posts that include code snippets?

No. This blog is read by business owners and marketers, not developers, so code snippets and documentation style posts are declined. Explain what changed and why in plain language instead, and save the code for a technical audience on a developer focused site elsewhere.

What makes a web development pitch more likely to be accepted?

A specific project with a real before and after: a site that was too slow, a CMS that was holding a business back, a rebuild that changed a measurable result. Pitches built around a general topic with no project behind them are far less likely to be accepted than one built on something that happened.
