Electric Butterfly has a long history of publishing high-quality articles and editorials on software and web development.

In 1997, Electric Butterfly launched a "how-to" site called Web Design Secrets, offering free monthly tutorials for web developers. Attracting thousands of visitors each month, Web Design Secrets remained a popular outlet for helpful web design tips and tricks until its last article was published in late 1998.

Starting in 2002, Electric Butterfly's CEO, Dave Wooldridge, published articles in REALbasic Developer magazine and wrote a regular monthly column in MacTech Magazine.

In 2005, while continuing to run Electric Butterfly, CEO Dave Wooldridge partnered with acclaimed Mac author, Dave Mark, to launch a new publishing company called SpiderWorks, specializing in how-to technology guides for developers (available online as eBooks and printed softcover editions). In 2008, several SpiderWorks titles were acquired by Apress, and Dave Wooldridge recently finished writing The Business of iPhone App Development for Apress.
