Ghost 6 personal theme
Well-documentedQuiet
A centred, generous theme for writers and authors.
Essays lead. A newsletter, a podcast, films, a portfolio and photographs sit beside them when you want them, and nothing competes with the words. Your homepage is written in the editor: publish a page, add one tag, and a section appears.

See how it worksMade for one voice, not a masthead.
Quiet is a personal site for a person who writes. Everything else you make has a proper home beside the writing, never in front of it.
Essayists and authors
Long-form type at a comfortable measure, filed into an archive that keeps itself.
Newsletter writers
Signup where it belongs, a page that lists your issues, and paid pieces when you are ready.
Writers with a show
A podcast page and a video channel on your own site, with a player that keeps going.
Makers and photographers
A numbered portfolio and a photo wall, built from pages you already know how to write.
Leaving Substack, Medium, or a page builder
Keep your domain, your design, your subscribers and every cent of your revenue.
The homepage
A homepage you write, not one you assemble.
Most themes give you a settings panel. Quiet gives you pages: publish one, add one tag, and it becomes a section. Reorder them by date, and every section hides itself until it has something to show.
Introduction
Your portrait, a line about what you do, and a place to subscribe. Five layouts, below.
Start anywhere
Your subjects as picture cards, each with a count of what sits beneath it.
Latest writing
Your newest pieces in two columns. Four, six or eight of them.
Newsletter band
Your promise in large type, one field, and the fine print you wrote.
Logo strip
Where you have spoken or been published, in one quiet row.
Testimonials
A face, a name, a rating and the quote, written as cards in the editor.
Podcast
Cover art, the latest episodes and your listening links, on a tinted band.
Films
Your three newest films, ready to play from the homepage.
Projects
A numbered ledger of your work: category, name, one line, a thumbnail.
Photo strip
Pictures edge to edge, drifting slowly when there are more than fit.
The introduction
Five ways to say hello.
The first thing a reader sees. A portrait above the words, beside them, or running off the edge of the screen. Prefer words alone? Leave the picture off.
Centred
A round portrait above the words. The default.
Portrait to the left
A larger portrait beside the words, for a site that leads with its author.
Portrait to the right
The same pairing, mirrored.
Shape the portrait
Four proportions, square corners or fully round.
Panel to the left
The picture fills the view below the header.
Panel to the right
The boldest opening, on the other side.
Your writing
Every piece opens the way it deserves.
Generous type at a comfortable measure, and five ways to open a post or page, each one tag away. Add a drop cap and the first letter opens the piece large.
Centred
Title first, picture below. The default.
Picture to the left
A portrait beside the title.
Picture to the right
The same pairing, mirrored.
Edge to edge
The picture runs the full width of the screen.
At text width
The picture sits inside the reading column.
Drop cap
The first letter, large, in the heading typeface.
A share row without scripts
Six destinations and Copy link, with nothing loading behind them.
Members-only, gracefully
A free preview fades into the signup card, and a small pill marks the piece wherever it is listed.
Reading needs no JavaScript
Every post reads fine with scripting off.
The archive
An archive that files itself.
Every piece lands under its month, one line each. Readers filter by your five most-used subjects, or see everything at once.
- Month headings and a subject filter, with no setup
- Tag pages with the tag's own description, in two columns
- Author pages with their own header, portrait and post grid
A podcast
Your show, on your own site.
Cover art, the show's description and every episode in one list. Drop your player into the page, and listening links for twenty-two platforms sit beside it.
Films
Keeps playing while they read.
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link or upload a file. Press play, and the film follows the reader into a corner as they scroll and move around your site. Nothing restarts, and nothing loads until they ask.
A channel of your own
Every film in an even grid, newest first.
A page built around the film
The film opens the page, your notes below it.
Keeps playing as they scroll
Scroll on or open another page and the film tucks into the corner.
Members-only films
A locked film shows a preview. The film itself never leaves your site.
YouTube, Vimeo, or your own file
One player handles all three.
Captions that travel
Uploaded films keep the captions you added, on by default.
No third-party cookies
YouTube plays through its no-cookie player and Vimeo is asked to stand down its tracking.
Portfolio and photographs
Show the work, not just the words.
Mark a page as a project and it joins a numbered ledger, each one a full page with previous and next. Pick the Gallery template and your pictures arrange themselves into a wall with a full-screen viewer.
A numbered ledger
Category, name, one line and a thumbnail. Star one to pin it first.
Every project, a full page
Previous and next links walk your work end to end.
A wall of photographs
Paste gallery cards back to back and they merge into one wall.
A photo strip on the homepage
Edge to edge, drifting when there are more pictures than fit.
Newsletter and contact
A letter people can find, and a way to write back.
Ghost sends the letter. Quiet gives it a landing page that lists your recent issues on its own, and a contact page whose form works from one pasted address.
A newsletter landing page
Your promise, the signup, and your recent issues beneath it.
Recent issues, automatically
New readers see what they are signing up for first.
A contact page with a real form
The side column is yours to write: hours, addresses, a note.
Confirmation in place
The thank-you appears right there, in your site's language.
Membership
Charge for your writing, in Quiet's clothes.
Ghost's tiers and paywall do the work. Quiet makes them look like the rest of your site, and you keep every cent.
A preview that fades into the invitation
Enough to want the rest, then a signup card in your colours.
Marked wherever it is listed
A small Members or Paid pill on every card and row.
Free, members, or paid
Set access per post. Quiet shows the right preview and the right pill.
Sign in and account
Subscribe, sign in and account live in the header and open Ghost's own panel.
Locked films stay locked
A members-only film never reaches the public page.
Privacy and speed
Nothing competing with the words.
A page of your writing contacts no one but your own site. Fewer requests means faster pages, and readers who are not being watched.
- No third-party requests on a page of writing
- Typefaces served from your own site, not a font network
- Share buttons with nothing loading behind them
- YouTube without cookies, Vimeo without tracking, and neither until play is pressed
- Every page reads fine with JavaScript switched off
- On a page of writing
- One stylesheet, one small script
- Typefaces
- Two, served from your site
- Third-party requests
- None
Accessibility
Built for everyone.
Built to the WCAG 2.2 AA standard, with the contrast half checked automatically in every brand colour, light and dark. Keyboard operation throughout, focus that returns where it left, reduced-motion support, and layouts tested from 320 pixels wide.
