Advertise

Last updated: March 22, 2011

Each month, php|architect brings news and information to an audience of
thousands of PHP professionals worldwide. Advertising through php|architect is a great
opportunity to showcase your products and company to potential customers who
have already shown their dedication to PHP and willingness to invest in their
careers and knowledge.

How advertising on php|architect works

php|architect is not published in a traditional print format; therefore, concepts
like “full-page” and “half-page” ads do not make sense in the context of a
publication that is released in an entirely electronic format.
Advertising on php|architect is sold as an all-inclusive solution that
encompasses both our magazine in all its formats and our website. When
purchasing an advertising solution, therefore, you will enjoy exposure from all the
venues that we can offer.

Ad formats

The PDF edition of the magazine offers one of two formats, one oriented in a
vertical layout, and the other in a horizontal layout. The sizes are illustrated in
the image to the right. Ads should be delivered in either PDF or EPS format, in
the RGB colour page.

The ePub and MOBI editions support a single format, which must be
delivered as a 100% JPEG or PNG-32 file. The size of this file should be 500×60
(a standard banner sized at 480×60 is also acceptable).

The website only supports textual ads of thirty words or less. These are
presented, tastefully, at specific location throughout phparch.com. Optionally, you
can provide a logo or product image not to exceed 80×80 pixels.

Don’t worry if this seems complicated—upon approval of your ad contract,
we’ll send you a handy PDF sheet with all the specs and a step-by-step checklist
for preparing your creative.

Content Policy

php|architect currently only accepts ads in two categories:

  • Job Postings include both announcements for specific jobs and general
    hiring ads.
  • Tools include developer tooling, including libraries, IDEs, etc.

We reserve the right to reject any and all content for any reason.

  • 6 months — $400/mo.
