Is this theme for me?
- β Minimalist publications
- β Personal blogs
- β Editorial publications
- β Newsletters
- β Large magazines
- β Image-led publications
Shoji is best for clean publications that want strong reading flow, simple discovery, and a restrained visual system. It fits personal blogs, essays, newsletters, and small editorial projects that value clarity over dense homepage composition.
Choose Shoji if you want a minimal theme with membership pages, account flows, author and tag discovery, image zoom, and useful post-reading tools. It is less suited to large magazines or heavily image-led sites that need dramatic layouts and many featured sections.
