Vienna

Vienna is a modern, magazine-style Ghost theme built for creators and publishers who want a bold, engaging reading experience. With its clean aesthetic and smart homepage customization, Vienna helps you showcase your best content while making it effortless for readers to discover what matters most.

Magazine-Style Homepage

Vienna's homepage is designed to put your content front and center with multiple strategic sections that guide readers through your best work.

Hero Section

The customizable hero section features a bold headline and optional newsletter signup form that captures attention immediately. Every element can be tailored through theme settings to match your brand voice.

Latest Posts Grid

Your most recent content appears in a clean, responsive grid that adapts beautifully from mobile to desktop. The 3-column layout (adjustable to 9 posts per page) gives readers a visual overview of your latest thinking.

Featured Tag Section

Highlight a specific content category with the featured tag section. Whether it's your "News" tag, "Tutorials", or any other collection, this section showcases tagged posts in an elegant card layout with overlay text and images. Configure which tag to feature through theme settings.

About Section

Connect with your audience through a dedicated author spotlight. Feature a specific author (configured via their slug) with their profile image, bio, location, website, and social links—all beautifully formatted and automatically pulled from Ghost's author settings.

Custom CTA Section

Every homepage ends with a powerful call-to-action footer section. Customize the heading, paragraph, button text, and destination URL to drive readers toward your most important conversion goal.

Newsletter Integration

Vienna makes it simple to grow your audience with a built-in newsletter signup form right in the hero section.

The form features:

• Clean, accessible input design with dark mode support
• Customizable button label through theme settings
• Customizable disclaimer text (e.g., "I won't send you spam. Promise.")
• Success and error messages with clear visual feedback
• Full integration with Ghost's native membership system

Turn the newsletter form on or off entirely through theme settings, giving you complete control over your homepage layout.

Dark Mode Support

Vienna includes comprehensive dark mode support that respects your readers' system preferences. The theme automatically adapts to light or dark mode based on the user's device settings, ensuring a comfortable reading experience at any time of day.

All colors maintain proper contrast ratios for excellent readability in both light and dark environments.

Internationalization Ready

Vienna includes 6 language translations out of the box:

• 🇬🇧 English
• 🇩🇪 German
• 🇫🇷 French
• 🇪🇸 Spanish
• 🇮🇹 Italian
• 🇺🇦 Ukrainian

Adding more languages is straightforward using Ghost's built-in localization system. The theme uses Ghost's {{t}} helper throughout, making translations seamless and consistent.

Typography

Vienna uses a carefully chosen font pairing:

• Headings: Fira Sans - A clean, professional sans-serif
• Body: Space Grotesk - A modern, highly readable sans-serif

Both fonts are self-hosted for optimal performance and privacy. The theme automatically adapts to Ghost's custom font feature if you want to use your own typefaces.
