Ghost comes with a beautiful default theme called Casper, which is designed to be a clean, readable publication layout and can be adapted for most purposes. However, Ghost can also be completely themed to suit your needs. Rather than just giving you a few basic settings which act as a poor proxy for code, we just let you write code.
There are a huge range of both free and premium pre-built themes. We recommend Mundana, the theme you're currently previewing.
A few things you should know upfront:
- Ghost is designed for ambitious, professional publishers who want to actively build a business around their content. That's who it works best for.
- The entire platform can be modified and customised to suit your needs. It's very powerful, but does require some knowledge of code. Ghost is not necessarily a good platform for beginners or people who just want a simple personal blog.
- For the best experience we recommend downloading the Ghost Desktop App for your computer, which is the best way to access your Ghost site on a desktop device.
