Freelance editors
Archweb.com is looking for external collaborators who can work from home as self-employed or with a VAT number. No hiring is planned at this stage.
The external collaborator should produce articles to be published on Archweb.com as a freelance writer.
We are looking for someone who can write content in the field of architecture and design in general, who knows the industry and can meet the questions and needs of the Archweb reader/user because they know what they want. Alternatively, they are able to deeply analyze the questions, needs, requests, and desires of design professionals.
The requested articles should meet high editorial requirements.
The proposed topics are:
- Architectural design and Interior design
- Construction technologies in building
- Environment and landscape
- CAD drawing, rules, and tricks for using AutoCAD
Characteristics of the articles:
a. The articles must be original: it is not possible to publish articles published elsewhere, and it is not possible to copy articles from other Italian or foreign websites.
b. It is not possible to publish elsewhere the articles produced for Archweb.com as they become the property of Archweb Srl.
c. The choice of articles is agreed upon, and the topics to be written will be indicated: therefore, no creativity is required in the production of the articles.
d. The articles must be produced with SEO perspective and in a clear manner, taking into account that the target user may have medium to low knowledge of the topic being discussed.
e. The articles must be produced and directly inserted on our publishing platform.
Compensation (price update as of 16.03.2023)
The commission is related to the amount of writing.
The price paid for an article is quantified at 0.035 euros per word.
The final amount will be net of the self-employment tax or VAT.
We have chosen this type of evaluation to align with the current market and to ensure greater accuracy regarding the actual amount of writing.
Naturally, it is taken for granted that we expect articles of quality both in writing and in content.
The article can be accompanied by drawings in dwg format specifically elaborated for it; in this case, the compensation must be agreed upon.
The images (max 5 per article) must be related to the text, royalty free: 1.20 euros each.
The amount of each individual image must be added to that of the article and will constitute the net taxable amount.
Payment will be made, every two articles or according to the author’s preferences, by bank transfer upon receipt of an invoice or receipt with self-employment tax deduction.
Each author/writer will have their own reference page with a photo and biography, and all their articles, regardless of the category in which they will be published, will be visible on this page.
We have classified the articles as follows:
1. Basic articles (short articles, product descriptions, drawings, technological solutions): from 20 to 500 words.
Some basic articles may be published without a byline; the collaborator acts as a ghostwriter.
Many drawings in the “CAD Blocks” category need accurate descriptions; we expect valid collaborations that can help us in the effective description of the design content. Any suggestions regarding the use of the drawing and its potential or variations will be appreciated.
2. Medium-length articles: from 500 to 1000 words.
They are enriched with some photos to facilitate the understanding of the content by the user.
3. In-depth articles (maximum length articles): from 1000 to 2000 words.
They are enriched with photos and graphic diagrams to facilitate the understanding of the content by the user.
The articles are published with the author’s byline as a collaborator.
To start collaborating with Archweb, the following is required:
1 – Submission of an article. Writing a basic article chosen by the author from the proposed topics. The submitted article will not be used on Archweb.com but only to assess the quality of writing. Articles should be sent in DOC format.

3 – Number of articles that the author thinks they can write each month.
