More Info:

Site point is all about building websites. They are looking for content about HTML, CSS, and SASS. However, they also have a general web category for which they will consider other topics.

Nonfiction: Site Point is either looking for articles or tutorials. These pieces are generally very specific. So instead of writing about HTML in general, you would write about a specific subtopic. Many of the articles they publish are for beginners.

Payment — They have changed their submissions page and do not list payment anymore; however, this is what they used to list as payment. They pay $150.00 for articles and $200.00 for tutorials. They may consider paying more for a lengthier piece.
