Coding: It is not required to have previous coding experience when applying, and you do not need to show any coding in your application, however, layouters need to at least learn our most essential codes within the first few months of being on the team. There are no coding requirements for the writers, but you are welcome to take part in learning and experimenting with HTML. And of course, the rest of the team is always there to help out if you are struggling with a code!
