Shoji

Block by block, Shoji moves from stories to an invitation to join, ending with the authors and topics that shape the publication. The cover becomes the publication’s visual signature in this structured editorial Ghost theme.

Choose a live demo

Keep the rhythm, block by block. Clear framing carries across the homepage and custom pages, giving editorial, membership, and discovery sections one visual rhythm.

A connected member journey. Custom pages carry readers from signup and plan selection to account management, while protected posts use matching labels and calls to action.

Let the archive organize itself. Homepage widgets and dedicated author and tag pages order contributors and topics by post count, with visual cards for the leading entries and compact links for the rest.

Content & structure

  • Image-led publications

Shoji fits personal blogs, newsletters, and editorial publications that want a restrained visual system and a clear structure for regular publishing. Its block-based layout gives featured posts and pages, recent stories, and membership a distinct place while keeping the homepage measured and easy to follow.

The publication cover can appear behind both the pinned and subscription sections, giving the homepage a recognizable visual signature. Membership pages extend that identity through the same block-based structure, from signup and plan selection to account management.

Choose Shoji if you want a clearly structured homepage, a complete membership journey, and discovery tools that keep authors, topics, and related stories easy to reach as the publication grows.
