“Finally, a theme that doesn't fight with my content. The typography is gorgeous and the table of contents feature makes my long articles so much more readable. Worth every penny.”

The timeline template is perfect for my online courses. Students love how clean and organized everything looks. Plus, the mobile experience is flawless—important since most access from phones.

Naoto's gallery layout showcases my photography beautifully. The minimal design doesn't compete with my images, and I can organize everything exactly how I want from the Ghost admin.
Lisa Rodriguez, Travel Blogger
Switched from a cluttered theme to Naoto and immediately saw better engagement. The homepage builder let me create exactly the story I wanted to tell. Clean, professional, and flexible.
