Enova
The elegant Ghost theme for modern publishers and newsletters.
Publish beautifully, grow your list and sell memberships — all from Ghost admin. No code required.
Works on every modern Ghost install
Built-in translations with automatic RTL
Readers save favourites in their browser
Filter the homepage without a page reload
Pick your homepage.
Four hero variants. Switch any time from Ghost admin — no rebuild, no migration. Tap any layout to see it full-size.
Configure every sidebar, every page.
Two levels of control, zero code. Set a sitewide default from Design settings, then override it individually on any post or page — all from Ghost admin.
Sitewide defaults
Five visibility presets control which pages show each sidebar: All pages, Posts & Pages, Posts only, Homepage only, or Hidden everywhere. Set it once — the whole site follows.
Per-post overrides
Need something different on a specific post? Override the sitewide default right from the post editor. Choose Left Sidebar, Right Sidebar, or Full Width — one dropdown, done.
Whether you want a feature-rich editorial layout with both sidebars or a minimal, distraction-free reading experience with none — Enova handles both without touching a line of code.
What makes Enova different.
Eight details readers notice — and most Ghost themes skip.
