Ghost Themes

Ghost themes

Ghost Themes on Codester are aimed at creators who care more about readable content and community feel than heavy marketing sliders. For blogs, newsletters and content-first sites, picking the right theme is mostly about typography, contrast, spacing and how quickly visitors can jump between posts or threads.

Spend a bit of time inside the demos. On a blog-oriented theme, scroll through long posts, scan heading levels and check how code blocks, quotes and image captions look. On a forum or community skin, focus on thread lists, profile pages and private messaging – those are the screens regular members will stare at every day.

Healthy communities also depend on performance. Light pages make your archive and topic pages easier to crawl and help search traffic grow naturally over time. Look for themes that avoid unnecessary sliders, autoplay videos or huge hero images on every single page. Simple layouts tend to age better and are easier to rebrand later.

For fandom blogs and quick link posts, Tumblr themes can be a great companion to long-form content handled by HTML website templates or WordPress themes.

Whichever design you choose, make sure you also set basic on-page SEO: descriptive titles, meaningful meta descriptions and internal links between cornerstone posts or key categories. If you are new to the platform, the official Ghost themes showcases how clean, content-first layouts can still feel unique – use it as inspiration while you customise your Codester theme.
