Introducing Array, the ultimate Ghost theme designed for blogs, newsletters, or content marketing sites, helping you to transform your website into a vibrant and dynamic showcase of your content. Array empowers you to create a unique and engaging user experience that stands out from the crowd.
By choosing Array, you're choosing a theme that combines sleek design with powerful customization options. This theme is designed to make your content shine, ensuring your website is both visually stunning and highly functional.
Homepage hero
The hero section on the homepage provides a great level of customization, allowing you to create a captivating first impression. With the ability to configure the headline using HTML elements, you can design text that stands out and draws immediate attention. Complement your headline with a subheading that succinctly conveys your message and entices visitors to explore further.
Additionally, Array gives you control over visitor engagement with the option to enable or disable the subscribe form. This flexibility allows you to tailor the homepage to your specific needs, whether you aim to grow your subscriber list or prefer a streamlined look.
The background style of this section is another area where Array shines. You can choose a background that aligns perfectly with your brand’s identity, whether that’s a vibrant brand color with a pattern, a striking publication cover image, or a clean, minimalist appearance with no background.
These options ensure that your homepage hero is not only eye-catching but also seamlessly integrated with your overall design aesthetic, making a lasting impression on your audience.
Customizable tag feed
One of the main features of Array is organizing content in categories using tags. The tag feed section is designed to offer maximum flexibility and style in showcasing your content categories. With the featured tags option, you can highlight specific tags in the order you prefer, ensuring that your most important topics get the attention they deserve.
Array also provides control over the number of tags displayed through the tags limit setting. This option lets you decide how extensive or concise your tag feed should be, tailoring the display to your content volume and design preference. Additionally, you can choose from various tags layout styles, including asymmetric grid, bento grid, classic grid, or sections with posts. Each layout offers a unique way to present your tags, enhancing the visual appeal and navigability of your website.
To further personalize the appearance of your tag cards, Array offers multiple background options. You can select an accent color with a pattern, a solid accent color, or a feature image as the background for each tag card.
Stylish post feed
This section is designed to showcase your content in a flexible and visually appealing manner. With the option to choose between displaying featured posts or the latest posts, you can tailor the feed to highlight your most important content or keep your audience updated with your newest articles.
Array also offers a variety of post feed layouts to suit your design preferences and content strategy. You can opt for a 1-column layout for a classic, focused presentation, a 2-column layout for a balanced and engaging display, or a 3-column layout to showcase a diverse range of posts at a glance.
These settings ensure that your blog or website not only looks great but also functions seamlessly. Whether you want to draw attention to featured articles or present a comprehensive view of your latest content.
Colors & typography
Array offers comprehensive customization options to ensure your site perfectly matches your brand identity. With settings to change the background color, text color, and border color, you have complete control over your site's color scheme.
You can explore and play around with colors on the demo site.
In addition to color customization, Array provides individual settings for headings and body fonts. You can choose from a predefined list of fonts to tailor the typography to your brand's style and tone.
For the colored tag cards, Array dynamically determines the contrasting color to ensure the best possible contrast. This automatic adjustment enhances readability and visual appeal, making sure that your tag cards stand out while maintaining a harmonious look.
