Tutorial

Some tips on how to write a great Codrops tutorial.

Style

• Write clearly and conversationally, focus on teaching, not selling.
• Blend creativity with technical depth: connect design ideas to implementation choices.
• Share your reasoning and process, not just the end result.
• Keep the tone friendly, approachable, and professional.

Structure

1. Introduction

Explain what the tutorial covers, why it’s interesting, and what tools or techniques you’ll be using. Set expectations and spark curiosity.

2. Concept

Provide a short background or design inspiration that grounds the idea. This helps readers understand the “why” before diving into the “how.”

3. Implementation

Walk through the build step by step:

• Use concise, focused code snippets.
• Explain the logic behind the code or technique.

4. Refinement

Cover the details that make the project production-ready:

• Responsiveness
• Performance considerations

5. Accessibility

You can address relevant accessibility considerations such as reduced motion preferences, color contrast, input alternatives, or semantic structure.

6. Wrap-Up

Summarize what the reader learned, show the final result, and link to resources/credits.

Writing Approach

• Keep snippets small and tightly focused.
• Explain why and how, not just what.
• Encourage experimentation, customization, and creative exploration.

Tone

• Clear, confident, and instructive. But be yourself.
